Alternative Managed API:

Do you know one? Please contribute it!

System.Environment.TickCount()

Note, the managed API is subtly different than the Win32 API call. The Win32 API call returns an unsigned int while the managed API returned a signed int. Also note that the MSDN documentation for System.Environment.TickCount() is not correct. This managed API rolls over to int.MinValue and not to 0 after 24.9 days.
