 static long GetTimestamp();

public static long GetTimestamp ();

static member GetTimestamp : unit -> int64

Public Shared Function GetTimestamp () As Long

Returns

Int64

A long integer representing the tick counter value of the underlying timer mechanism.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of the GetTimestamp method to update a performance counter.

Remarks

If the Stopwatch class uses a high-resolution performance counter, GetTimestamp returns the current value of that counter. If the Stopwatch class uses the system timer, GetTimestamp returns the current DateTime.Ticks property of the DateTime.UtcNow instance.
