Measuring time between button 1 click and button 2 click
I need to measure the time between button 1 click and button 2 click. I know that I can use Datetime.Now but any variable I assign, I can only use in one eventhandler. I searched on the internet but all i could find was using a stopwatch, but that doesn't seem to work anymore in Visual Studio 2017.

Assuming button1 and button2 are in the same class, you can set an instance variable when button1 is clicked and check it when button2 is clicked.

You can use a Stopwatch instance or DateTime calculation. If you want to use Stopwatch you also have to import the containing namespace.
using System.Diagnostics;
Either way, you have to put your variable in a scope above the eventhandlers so that both eventhandlers have access to it. Here is a Winforms example that uses both methods, but it can easily be translated to other scenarios.
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApp1 {
public partial class Form1 : Form {
private DateTime from;
private Stopwatch watch = new Stopwatch();
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
from = DateTime.Now;
watch.Restart();
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
watch.Stop();
MessageBox.Show(
"Date subtraction: " + DateTime.Now.Subtract(from).ToString() + Environment.NewLine +
"Stopwatch: " + watch.Elapsed.ToString());
}
}
}

Use Stopwatch
Stopwatch _sw = new Stopwatch();
void Button1_Click(sender, e)
{
if (_sw.IsRunning)
_sw.Stop();
_sw.Reset();
_sw.Start();
}
void Button2_Click(sender, e)
{
if (_sw.IsRunning)
_sw.Stop();
MessageBox.Show(_sw.Elapsed);
}
If you in Web Forms, you can stuff your stop watch into Session. And in REST, well, you can use runtime caching.
