Check Execution Time - Stopwatch

This is a quick reference for how to check execution time in C#. This may be helpful to others but basically keeping it for my reference; as many times when needed it I need to Google it. Following code is the one when I implemented the Zipping Assembly. To test which implementation is faster I used it.

Need to reference System.Diagnostics but the implementation is quiet simple.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Archive;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;

namespace TestConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
            sw.Start();
            ArchiveCreator ss = new WinBaseZipCreator(@"d:\testzip1.zip");
            ArchiveObj xx = ss.GetArchieve();
            xx.AddFile(@"d:\TEST1.txt");
            xx.AddFile(@"d:\TEST2.txt");
            xx.SaveArchive();
            sw.Stop();
            Console.WriteLine(sw.Elapsed);
            Thread.Sleep(5000);
            sw.Restart();
            ArchiveCreator sss = new IonicZipCreator(@"d:\testzip2.zip");
            ArchiveObj xxx = sss.GetArchieve();
            xxx.AddFile(@"d:\TEST1.txt");
            xxx.AddFile(@"d:\TEST2.txt");
            xxx.SaveArchive();
            sw.Stop();
            Console.WriteLine(sw.Elapsed);
            Thread.Sleep(5000);
            sw.Restart();
            ArchiveCreator ssss = new ZipShellCreator(@"d:\testzip3.zip");
            ArchiveObj xxxx = ssss.GetArchieve();
            xxxx.AddFile(@"d:\TEST1.txt");
            xxxx.AddFile(@"d:\TEST2.txt");
            xxxx.SaveArchive();
            sw.Stop();
            Console.WriteLine(sw.Elapsed);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
