Stopwatch.Start() starts the stopwatch.
To get the time elapsed you would need to access Elapsed property. Elapsed property returns the Timespan Type. Which you can use to get the value in different formats i.e. Days, Seconds, Milliseconds.
Stopwatch watch = new Stopwatch();
watch.Start();
Timespan ts = watch.Elapsed;
int ms = ts.Seconds;
