could 2 windows versions have different results with same program?

shoham tal

hello friends
i wrote a tiny program whice supposed to measure the time in miliSecond that takes a tcpClient to connect.

 

TcpClient client = newTcpClient();
start = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
client.Connect(ip, port);
finish = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
double miliSecond = (finish - start) / 10000;

on my Win7 at home its working great.
at work on win-XP the results are always 0 miliSecond.
could the reason for the difference be the different operating systems?
(I tried frameWork 3.5 and 4 - the same happens)...
any help would be appreciate.

I think it depends on what you are connecting to, but you did not say anything about where (the address) you are connecting to. The following for me says that it took about 90 millisecnds to connect.

TcpClient tcpClient = new TcpClient();

Console.WriteLine("Connecting....");

double start = DateTime.Now.Ticks;

try { tcpClient.Connect("www.c-sharpcorner.com", 80); }

catch (Exception ex)

{

	Console.WriteLine("Error connecting: {0}", ex.ToString());

	return;

}

double finish = DateTime.Now.Ticks;

double miliSecond = (finish - start) / 10000;

Console.WriteLine("Connected in {0} miliSeconds", miliSecond);
