Then, add two controls to web page, a Button and a Label control

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>A sample of invoking Win32 API in ASP.NET 2.0 VB</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">

<div>
<strong>Test Your Click Interval</strong><br />
<br />
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Click Me!" /> <br />
<br />
&nbsp;
<asp:Label ID="lblTime" runat="server" Width="136px"></asp:Label></div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Add a function for displaying the time interval between mouse clicks of the button

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim CurrentTime As Long

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
lblTime.Text = ""
CurrentTime = 0
Session("LastTime") = New Long()
Session("Frequency") = New Long()

If Not QueryPerformanceFrequency(Session("Frequency")) Then
lblTime.Text = "Error:Server doesn't support performance counter"
btnSubmit.Enabled = False
End If
Else
If QueryPerformanceCounter(CurrentTime) And Session("LastTime") <> 0 Then
lblTime.Text = lblTime.Text & ((CurrentTime - Session("LastTime")) / Session("Frequency")).ToString() & "second since last click.<br>"
Else
lblTime.Text = lblTime.Text & "Please click again.<br>"
End If
Session("LastTime") = CurrentTime
End If
End Sub
