C# How to measure function time execution

Question

I have a C# function that I want to measure execution time:

// save audit log using XML approach
if (records > 0) {

    using(SQLRepository repo = new SQLRepository()) {

        // this is one approach that I want to meassure
        repo.SaveChangeLog(tw.ToString());

        // this is second approach that I want to meassure
        repo.SaveChangeLogApproach2(tw.ToString());
    }
}

Is there something already in Visual Studio that I can use to get those executions times?

Have you come across AOP (Aspect Orientated Programming)? Might be useful. — Dr Schizo, Aug 11 '14 at 15:45

VS2015 displays on diagnostic tools window with a breakpoint at the end of the function. see my answer on duplicate question. — Emil, Dec 23 '15 at 16:00

You should be using the System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class.

Note that if you time both method calls within the same using statement, the first call may be slower due to instantiation of the repo class.
