Why without?! :-)
What would be the purpose of this class?

If you are using a .NET language, then you should use .NET functions - you could get the time by PInvoke of GetSystemTime[^]:

C#

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern void GetSystemTime(out SYSTEMTIME lpSystemTime);

But then you need to declare the SYSTEMTIME structure and process it yourself.

C#

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public class SystemTime
{
   public ushort year;
   ...
   public ushort milliseconds;
}

Providing a wrapper class for the DateTime.Now property would be a better solution.
