 public static extern uint MM_BeginPeriod(uint uMilliseconds);
!!!!VB Signature:
 Declare Function timeBeginPeriod Lib "winmm.dll" (ByVal uPeriod As Integer) As Integer
!!!!User-Defined Types:

!!!!Tips & Tricks:
Please add some!

!!!!Sample Code:
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
  StreamWriter oWriter = null;
  MM_BeginPeriod(1); // set timer resolution to 1ms => freq=1000Hz

try
  {
    oWriter = new StreamWriter(@"ticks.txt");
    // tickcount has resolution of 16.5ms, mmtime has 1ms
    for(int nLoop = 0; nLoop < 100000; nLoop++)
      oWriter.WriteLine("{0}: TickCount={1}, MMTime={2}", nLoop, Environment.TickCount, MM_GetTime());
  }
  catch(IOException oException)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(oException.Message);
  }
  finally
  {
    if(oWriter != null)
      oWriter.Close();
  }

MM_EndPeriod(1);
 }
