Calculate with milliseconds

[Loki45]

Why does Time[index].Millisecond always return 0 instead of milliseconds? Same with DateTime.Now.Millisecond.

Or, if
TimeSpan ts1 = Time[0] - Time[1]

then ts1.TotalMilliseconds returns three zeros as the last three digits.
I tried declaring ts1.TotalMilliseconds as long, but that didn't do the trick.

Can someone help?

Time[index] is upto seconds only. NT hasnt implemented ms as of now. NT8 may be.

I suspected something like that, but what about the native .NET objects and constructs based on DateTime and TimeSpan? Don't they also work in the NinjaScript context like they would normaly do, down to a tick size of 100ns? This is the resolution the System.Namespace provides under the 3.5 framework.

Loki, would be believe lower granunlarity is possible in realtime with DateTime and TimeSpans in C#.

Well, you have TimeSpan.TotalMilliseconds, TimeSpan.Millisecond, Datetime.Now.Millisecond. So, that obviously is designed to work in real time.

The property System.Environment.TickCount for example counts milliseconds from the last time the computer was turned on:

"A 32-bit signed integer containing the amount of time in milliseconds that has passed since the last time the computer was started." [MSDN Help on .NET]

All of the above does not seem to work within NinjaScript, not with a millisecond resolution.

Not sure in which context you work with those, but timestamps generally go down to second only.
