Hi

I am using asp.net mvc 2.0 and I want to test how long it takes to do some of my code.

In one senario I do this

1. load xml file up.
2. validate xml file and deserailze.
3. validate all rows in the xml file with more advanced validation that cannot be done in the schema validation.
4. then I do a bulk insert.

I want to know how long steps 1 to 3 take and how long step 4 takes.

I tried to do like DateTime.UtcNow in areas and subtract them but it told me it took like 3 seconds but I know that is not right as steps 1 to 4 take 2mins to do.
