一些设备支持高分辨率计时器。此计时器（如果存在）提供的测量结果比使用 TickCount 属性获得的测量结果（分辨率为 1 毫秒）更加精确。在看重准确的时间测量的应用程序中，高分辨率计时器可提供最佳结果。例如，当动画基于高分辨率计时器时，一些 Direct3D 应用程序能够更加平滑地显示。也可以在应用程序中使用此计时器来确定执行某个方法或代码部分所需的时间。
示例
此代码示例提供一个类，使您能够在 Windows CE 上的托管代码中轻松使用高分辨率计时器。此示例具有以下特性：
Windows CE 中本机方法的平台调用声明。
用于获取高分辨率计数器的频率的属性。
用于获取高分辨率计数器的值的属性。
支持 TickCount 属性的实现以作为在 QueryPerformanceCounter 函数不受支持或被模拟时的后备方式。
有关如何使用高分辨率计数器对操作进行计时的示例。
