CLOCKS_PER_SEC equivalent in C#

I've this code snippet in C++ and have a hard time converting it to C#

clock_t now = clock();
myStartTime = start;
myTimeLimit = 5 // in seconds

for (int depth = 2; ((double)(now - myStartTime)) / (double)CLOCKS_PER_SEC < myTimeLimit; depth += 2)
{
    //
}

Is this how I should do it?

var now = DateTime.Now;
myStartTime = start;
myTimeLimit = 5;

for (int depth = 2; (now - myStartTime).TotalSeconds < myTimeLimit; depth += 2)
{

}

You can make use of CancellationTokenSource as a better alternative to achieve this. For example

var clt = new CancellationTokenSource(5000);
Task.Run(() => DoSomething(clt.Token));

private static void DoSomething(CancellationToken cltToken)
{
    for (int depth = 2; !cltToken.IsCancellationRequested; depth += 2)
    {
        // . . .
    }

    if (cltToken.IsCancellationRequested) {
        // Time limit reached before finding best move at this depth
    }
}
