Hi Mark,
As I know the .Net2.0 StopWatch class actually encapsulates
QueryPerformanceCounter() API internally. So, it should meet your need.
Do you mean that you do not like the StopWatch class to use some lower
resolution timer while running some system without QueryPerformanceCounter
API? If so, you can check Stopwatch.IsHighResolution static property to
determine if the running system supports the high resolution counter. By
using this approach, you can make your decision at runtime about it.
If you encapsulates the QueryPerformanceCounter() API yourself, I think
your code will lose the portability feature of the .Net. For example, it
will fail on the platform that does not support "QueryPerformanceCounter".
So I think using StopWatch class is a better choice.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
