You can use the Stopwatch class to do that very easily. See MSDN for more
info.

A note of caution if you want to use ns precision:

"One should not use Elapsed.Ticks to calculate the elapsed time in
nanoseconds.
The only correct way to get this high precision count is by using
Stopwatch.ElapsedTicks like this:

and Stopwatch.ElapsedTicks are both valid but have radically different
meanings.
