How to get accurate time (to 100 nano second) in C#?

Change computer language. If your app depends so much on highly-accurate
timing, then the garbage collector alone (and the fact that you have little
control over it) will mess up your timings.

I think Win32s' QueryPerformanceCounter is the only thing that can do better
then milliseconds.

You can use c++.net with some unmanaged sections when needed.

Thanks,

Ticks is a good time measure. There are 10 000 ticks per millisecond. See TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond constant.

The February 2004 issue of MSDN Magazine had a good article on Timers in
..NET:

The March 2004 issue of MSDN Magazine has a second good article on Timers in
..NET:

Hope this helps
