Easy way to excecute method after a given delay?

Question

Is there a easy way to perform a method after a given delay like in iOS out of the box?

On iPhone I would do this:

[self performSelector:@selector(connectS

You can use the Reactive Extensions for WP7 to observe on a timer:

Observable
  .Timer(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(2500))
  .SubscribeOnDispatcher()
  .Subscribe(_ =>
    {
      NavigationService.GoBack();
    });

Given the brevity of this code, I don't think you'd gain much by creating an extension method for it :) For more information about the Reactive Extensions for WP7, take a look at this MSDN page .
