C# sub millisecond timing

Question

Is there anywhere in C# to perform timing operations with sub millisecond accuracy? I'm putting timing code in my software and everything is being returned as 0ms. I would like to know if there is a way of getting even finer granularity.

Addendum: is this the correct code to get sub millisecond timing?

timeSpan.TotalMilliseconds / 10

I'm still getting 0 as the elapsed time

Answer 1

You could always try using QueryPerformanceCounter or the StopWatch class for a managed approach

Answer 2

Use System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch

Answer 3

Usually I measure these kinds of scenarios by repeating the operation multiple times (as many as needed to get the milliseconds over a few dozen or hundred.

Then you can adjust and measure more easily.

Answer 4

You could try measuring your performance in matter of Ticks instead of milliseconds. It will be much more accurate in terms of performance.

but I agree with Sam and Tyranid, use System.Diagnostics.StopWatch.
