ZylTimer.NET

ZylTimer.NET is a high resolution .NET timer class/component which provides increased precision compared to the standard .NET Timer component.

This component ships to the .NET framework and uses the Windows Message Queue to generate the Tick event. Because of the way it works, it is incapable of getting timer intervals more accurate than 15 milliseconds.

Because of ZylTimer.NET 's architecture and the fact that its a timer based on threads, it provides higher precision, between one and two milliseconds, which can be valuable in time-dependent applications.

Because Windows is not a real-time OS, it is understandable why timers cannot process intervals of such small scales.

The standard. NET Timer component that is included in Delphi / C++Builder, for example, cannot measure timer intervals smaller than 50 milliseconds accurately.

This component supports all Windows versions from 98 through 10 on both x32 and x64 formats and is available for NET Framework 2.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, and NET Standard 2.0.

To get this component installed all you have to do is add a reference to the drill from your project and declare an object of the component type in your application
