How to get elapsed milliseconds of stopwatch in VB.Net?

To solve the above problem, here we paused the program using Thread.Sleep() and then print elapsed milliseconds using ElapsedMilliseconds property of StopWatch class.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to print the elapsed milliseconds of stopwatch using Thread.Sleep() method is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Imports System.Threading

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim watch As Stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew()

        Thread.Sleep(2000)
        watch.Stop()

        Console.WriteLine("Elapsed Milliseconds by ThreadSleep() : {0}", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds)
    End Sub
End Module

Output

Elapsed Milliseconds by ThreadSleep() : 2007

Explanation

In the above program, we imported the System.Threading namespace to implement multithreading in the program. After that, we created a module Module1. The Module1 contains Main() function.

The Main() is the entry point for the program, here we created the object of Stopwatch class using StartNew() method of StopWatch class. After that, we slept the thread for 2000 milliseconds using the Sleep() method and then stop the thread and print the elapsed time in milliseconds using the ElapsedMilliseconds property of Stopwatch class on the console screen.
