Page Generation Time

I am wanting to include a message in the footer of my application which
displays the server-side page generation time. An example of what I
want is at http://p2p.wrox.com/ (This page was generated in x seconds.)

I am aware that I can find this information by adding trace="true" to
the page directive, but is there any way to access the information
otherwise (as this is something I want incorporated into the design,
not to be used for debugging)

If not, I would like some help on manually generating this myself. I
would like it to be done in the master page (or some other way where I
don't have to include it on every page I create) So would like to time
from the earliest point possible, to the latest possible (with still
being able to output to the browser). Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
 
Well, you could simply do it at the start of onInit and at the end of
onPreRender in your master page.

You could actually start a little earlier, like in Application_BeginRequest


Begin_Request
HttpContext.Current.Items.Add("startTime", DateTime.Now);


onpreRender


if (HttpContext.Current.Items["startTime"] != null)
{
footerLiteral.Text =
DateTime.Now.Subtract((DateTime)HttpContext.Current.Items["startTime"]).TotalSeconds.ToString();
}

Hmmm, wouldn't you have to use something like :


DateTime.Now.ToString("ss.fffffff")

....in order to get a meaningful elapsed time ?

Karl,

I implemented what you suggested, and it worked beautifully.

Juan, I'm not sure what you are suggesting, is it just an alternate way
to format? I took Karl's advice, then simply added Math.Round to round
the result to the nearest 100th of a second.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

Dunno... ??? :)

re:

Seconds are not enough to establish the time elapsed between events,
although for a total ET it would work, if you round it as you did.

Also, you have to watch out for the server caching the page.
The results of caching distort the real time it takes.

OnInit and Render seem to happen simultaneously when the page is cached.

Care to share/post your code, so others can benefit ?
