Hi everybody!

I need to make a benchmark executing a DLL's functions series in a "for"
cicle, but I need to get the initial y final time and then get the
difference to make a benchmark. I Tried with "Time of date, Now()", but I
can't to convert that results in an integer...¿How can I do that?

I appreciate some help

hi Carlos, there are several ways to do it. Here is the most primitive:

        Dim StartTime As Date = Now
        'processing here ...
        MsgBox("ElapsedTime: " &
Now.Subtract(StartTime).TotalMilliseconds & " millisecs")

-tom

Carlos,

Measuring time on a multipurpose computer is never sure. Therefore you have
to do things more times.

I use for this

dim start as integer = environment.tickscount ' to get a time in
milliseconds
I hope this helps,

Cor
