AverageTimer32 counter becomes zero

Question

I wrote a code snippet as shown below:

For testing, I call the ComputeAndLog method and on the performance monitor I see an average value other than zero. However, as soon as I finish my testing, the average value of the performance counter drops to zero. Any idea why this is so?

Maybe I'm using the wrong counters?

The requirement that I have is that I have a function, and I have to calculate that on average how long it takes to execute this function. Something like below:

void ComputeAndLog()
{
    Stopwatch stopWatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    FunctionWhoseAveragetTimeIsToBeMeasured();
    write_counter(stopWatch.ElapsedTicks);
}

void write_counter(long timeForCompletion)
{
    averageTimeCounter.IncrementBy(timeForCompletion);
    averageBaseCounter.Increment();
}

Thanks xoxo

AverageTimer :

((N1 - N0) / F) / (B1 - B0)

• N1 t (AverageTimer)
• N0 , t - 1 (AverageTimer)
• B1 t ()
• B0 , t - 1 ( )
• F /

(9 - 10)/F/(1 - 0) = -1/F/1

F 1, -1.

(19 - 10)/F/(1 - 0) = 9/F/1
