Answer 1

NUnit has built-in feature for waiting for assertion. It is called 'After':

[Test]
public void ShouldRaiseFinishedEvent()
{
    SomeClass someObject = new SomeClass();
    bool eventRaised = false;
    someObject.SomethingFinished += (o, e) => { eventRaised = true; };

    someObject.DoSomething();
    Assert.That(eventRaised, Is.True.After(500));
}
