So I have a motherboard with multiple CPU sockets. It seems that if I
create a StopWatch on one thread and then call the Elapsed member from
a different thread that sometimes I get a tick count that's a million
miles away.

My thinking is that I can subclass the StopWatch. Then when the
Elapsed member is called, I can invoke it on the thread that the
StopWatch class was created on. True? How?

Or is there an easy way that I could scan through all processors and
read their tick counts? That way I could just have my own timer class
that stores counts for all CPUs.

Can the BeginThreadAffinity help me somehow? I'm totally at a loss as
to what that function does for me.

Is there some other solution?

I'm using .NET 2.0.

Thanks.

Hi,

The StopWatch class isn't inherently thread-safe. Are you
synchronizing access to it appropriately. Can you post some code
demonstrating the problem?
