As i was just about to code a logging system for a project, i remembered a couple of fine methods which SqlConnection class has.
RetrieveStatistics();

It works with first enabling the stats mode, resetting the stats and when the command is executed, finally retrive the stats.

string strConnectionString = @"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=FooDB;Integrated Security=True";
 using (SqlConnection conSQL = new SqlConnection(strConnectionString))
 {
     using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand("select * from Foo", conSQL))
     {
         cmdSQL.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
         try
         {
             conSQL.Open();
             conSQL.StatisticsEnabled = true;
             
             conSQL.ResetStatistics();
             SqlDataReader drdActiveConfiguration = cmdSQL.ExecuteReader();
             IDictionary idcStat= conSQL.RetrieveStatistics();

             foreach (DictionaryEntry dceItem in idcStat)
             {
                 Console.WriteLine("Key: {0}, Value: {1}", dceItem.Key.ToString(), dceItem.Value.ToString());
             }

             DataSet dsActiveConfiguration = new DataSet();
             dsActiveConfiguration.Load(drdActiveConfiguration, LoadOption.OverwriteChanges, new string[] { "Foo1" });

             dsActiveConfiguration.Clear();
             conSQL.Close();
         }
         catch (Exception excp)
         {
         }
     }
 }

By using this method, you get a quite information about the execution process...

which is very handy :)
