So here I am trying to time a form's load and I'm not quite sure how to go about it.
In vb6 I'd do this:

dim start as double
dim lapsed as double

start = timer
lapsed = timer - start

and it actually worked for a console application in .net but not when I've tried it in a form. I've looked at the Timer property in MSDN and it doesn't specify what context the example its used in.
Any ideas?
