Question

I am using this code

        var dispatcherTimer = new DispatcherTimer();
        dispatcherTimer.I         


        

Answer 1

Just to show a different approach really ... If you're using MVVM, you could bind your button color to a property on the ViewModel, and once you click on it, run your 2 minutes background/timer . Once the 2 minutes are done, it'll change the color to the other one.

Not much xaml involved, and I do like some of the other solutions here :)

private void backgroundWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    Thread.Sleep(2000); // two second
        ButtonColorPropertyName= Colors.Red;
}

(Assuming you have the ButtonColorPropertyName or whatever you want to name it, in the ViewModel)
