Well, I'm stabbing in the dark here because of the lack of information given, but if you're just asking for a way to time something, C# has the StopWatch class found in System.Diagnostics, it measures time in tenths of milliseconds

Usage Example:

using System.Diagnostics

public static void TestStopWatch()
{
 StopWatch sw = new StopWatch();

 int temp = 0;
 int repetitions = 1000000;

 sw.Reset();
 for (int i=0; i<repetitions; i++)
  temp++;
long time = sw.Peek();   
Console.WriteLine("Time = " + time/10.0 + " milliseconds.");
}

Example Output:

2.7 milliseconds
