thanks rob that, here created timer solve.

        dispatchertimer _timer = new dispatchertimer();         int counter = 0;         _timer.interval = timespan.fromseconds(1);         _timer.tick += (s, e) =>         {             counter++;              if (counter >= _interval_time)             {                 _timer.stop();                   //do stuff here               }          };         _timer.start();
