vb.net - How to use native Stopwatch with fewer decimal places? -

in visual basic 2010, how use built-in stopwatch function less accuracy/with fewer decimal places. building stopwatch. works well, has low framerate (about 5-10 fps) because stopwatch generates 10 decimal places! here's code lessen number of decimal places:

private sub timer1_tick(sender system.object, e system.eventargs) handles timer1.tick     rounded = convert.todecimal(stopwatch1.elapsed)     rounded2 = decimal.round(rounded, 2)     label1.text = convert.tostring(rounded2) end sub 

have @ this:

any help?

thanks!

i think best options use custom format elapsed value (which timespan) this:

private sub timer1_tick(sender system.object, e system.eventargs) handles timer1.tick     label1.text = stopwatch1.elapsed.tostring("dd\.hh\:mm\:ss\.fff") end sub 

where fff optional number of milliseconds require - specify more or less f's want.

note won't round value in case of stopwatch wouldn't want round anyway.
