Setup time Metrics for Webservice Call

I am calling a webservice to send json data by post method. Here is the code for that: 

string sample_url = "mywebservice/createsample;
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(sample_url);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
CookieCollection cookcol = new CookieCollection();
cookcol.Add(cookie);

string body= json data
byte[] postBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(body);
request.ContentLength = postBytes.Length;
Stream postStream = request.GetRequestStream();
postStream.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length);

postStream.Close();

WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
string satus = ((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription;
postStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(postStream);

I need to get some timestamp around this webservice request and response as the service seems quite slow. How do I put the countdown timer around this? Thanks for your response.

Beware that you aren't testing your own network latency as well. If you are interested specifically in how long each service call takes, you should probably use a Stopwatch as per @nvoigt answer, but put this round your service implementation method.

You can use the Stopwatch class:

Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();

sw.Start();

// your code to measure here

sw.Stop();

// print sw.Elapsed
