 Hi krishna,

Check out the GetSystemTime Windows SDK function. This discussion forum post talks about this.

Let me know if you have any problems.

You might want to use GetLocalTime out of the Win32 SDK, else you get UTC.

GetLocalTime has the additional advantage of not colliding with the NI GetSystemTime function.

If you use GetSystemTime and you're also using utility.h, you have to #undef the NI function and provide a prototype for the Win32 function.

Hi Krishna,

If you do not require absolute time, another way is using clock().

This function will return an integer containing the number of milliseconds since the program started.
