Hi do you know of a way to get the QueryPerformanceCounter in .net with out the big API call.

CODE

Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceCounter Lib "kernel32" (lpPerformanceCount As Currency) As Long

Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceFrequency Lib "kernel32" (lpFrequency As Currency) As Long

I used to need one to get the tickcount in vb6 but not now don�t and I was just wondering if this was true with this API as well.

Otherwise, you do have a namespace to handle all diffrent kinds of performance counters... (CPU load, mem usage, etc... ) dont know what its called anymore though. I can check this when i get home later today.. just wait a couple of hours Hope that helps, -- Loffen
