## Stopwatch class


Allows time measurement. Objects of this class should only be allocated using [System::MakeObject()](../../system/makeobject/) function. Never create instance of this type on stack or using operator new, as it will result in runtime errors and/or assertion faults. Always wrap this class into [System::SmartPtr](../../system/smartptr/) pointer and use this pointer to pass it to functions as argument.

```cpp
class Stopwatch : public System::Object
```

## Methods

| Method | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [get_Elapsed](./get_elapsed/)() const | Gets the total elapsed time measured by the current instance. |
| [get_ElapsedMilliseconds](./get_elapsedmilliseconds/)() const | Gets the total elapsed time measured by the current instance, in milliseconds. |
| [get_ElapsedTicks](./get_elapsedticks/)() const | Gets the total elapsed time measured by the current instance, in timer ticks. |
| [get_IsRunning](./get_isrunning/)() const | Checks if stopwatch is running. |
| [Reset](./reset/)() | Stops time measurement, sets measured interval to zero. |
| [Restart](./restart/)() | Sets measured interval to zero, then starts time measurement. |
| [Start](./start/)() | Starts time measurement. |
| static [StartNew](./startnew/)() | Creates new [Stopwatch](./) object and starts measurement. |
| [Stop](./stop/)() | Stops time measurement. |
