Gets the current number of ticks in the timer mechanism.
Syntax
public static long GetTimestamp ()
Returns
A long integer representing the tick counter value of the underlying timer mechanism.
Remarks
If the System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class uses a high-resolution performance counter, Stopwatch.GetTimestamp returns the current value of that counter. If the System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class uses the system timer, Stopwatch.GetTimestamp returns the current DateTime.Ticks property of the DateTime.Now instance.
