Detailed Description

Author:: Chetan Kapoor

Can be used as a stop watch to measure the execution time of pieces of code. A Timer is just like a stop watch. You can start it, stop it and then get the elapsed time between the start and the stop. Calls to different Timer objects should NOT be nested. Timer derives from Base under public virtual inheritance.
