Question : how to get the milliseconds from datetime in dotnetcompact framework

Iam using dotnet compact framework.
I am logging the error messages using log4net dll.
iam using the following code.
if (transferLogger.IsDebugEnabled)
            {
                transferLogger.Debug("BaseTransferPresneter Start Time:" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss:fff tt"));
            }

The out put is

2009-12-08 15:35:10,000 [1090261] DEBUG TransferApplicationLogger [(null)] - BaseTransferPresneter Start Time:08-12-2009 03:35:10:000 PM.

in the above output the milliseconds is coming 000.

Answer : how to get the milliseconds from datetime in dotnetcompact framework

hi,
I guess, for performance testing you need the milliseconds value right?

you can use like below,
int result = Environment.TickCount & Int32.MaxValue;
 transferLogger.Debug("BaseTransferPresneter Start Time:" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss") + "Tick count : " + result);

//Your code to test performance

transferLogger.Debug("BaseTransferPresneter End Time:" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss") + "Tick count : " + Environment.TickCount & Int32.MaxValue - result);

Environment.TickCount :Gets the number of milliseconds elapsed since the system started [from Msdn].
So just subtract he previous time from the current time will give you the total milli seconds elapsed.... (you dont need to calculate from the Datatime value)
