IsHighResolution C# with Example

The IsHighResolution property indicates whether the timer is based on a high-resolution performance 
counter or based on the DateTime class. 
This field is read-only. 
// Display the timer frequency and resolution. 
if (Stopwatch.IsHighResolution) 
{ 
Console.WriteLine("Operations timed using the system's high-resolution performance counter."); 
} 
else 
{ 
Console.WriteLine("Operations timed using the DateTime class."); 
} 
long frequency = Stopwatch.Frequency; 
Console.WriteLine(" Timer frequency in ticks per second = {0}", 
frequency); 
long nanosecPerTick = (1000L*1000L*1000L) / frequency; 
Console.WriteLine(" Timer is accurate within {0} nanoseconds", 
nanosecPerTick); 
}

The timer used by the Stopwatch class depends on the system hardware and operating system. IsHighResolution is 
true if the Stopwatch timer is based on a high-resolution performance counter. Otherwise, IsHighResolution is false, 
which indicates that the Stopwatch timer is based on the system timer. 
Ticks in Stopwatch are machine/OS dependent, thus you should never count on the ration of Stopwatch ticks to 
seconds to be the same between two systems, and possibly even on the same system after a reboot. Thus, you can 
never count on Stopwatch ticks to be the same interval as DateTime/TimeSpan ticks. 
To get system-independent time, make sure to use the Stopwatch ’s Elapsed or ElapsedMilliseconds properties, 
which already take the Stopwatch.Frequency (ticks per second) into account. 
Stopwatch should always be used over Datetime for timing processes as it is more lightweight and uses Dateime if 
it cant use a high-resolution performance counter.
