High precision timing

[mutant]

Does anybody know if Microsoft plans by any chance to add an implementation of high precision timing to .NET library? Ive tried searching but cant find anything about that topic.
Thanks.

Heheheh yeah you gotta hate those timers.
I wish there was some way you can use the timers that you use in C++ (cant remember the name), it was in winmm.dll. See if you can find a wrapper for that.

Its incredible how confusing Microsoft code gets...

" [System.Security.SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity] // We wont use this maliciously
[DllImport("kernel32")]
"

MAN.

I know about those APIs. I mean an actual .NET class which is a part of the Framework, even if it is just a call to those APIs underneath (on the Win32 platform).

I saw an MSDN magazine article about that exact situation. I will look for it at home. Meanwhile, I did find this. Its low level, but Im not sure how low level you want to get, and what your goal is with the high resolution timer.
