Pausing an Application Procedure

I have the following code:

MediaPlayer.MoveNext();

 SlideTransition slideTransition = new SlideTransition { Mode = SlideTransitionMode.SlideRightFadeOut };
 ITransition transition = slideTransition.GetTransition(textBlockSong);
 transition.Completed += delegate { transition.Stop(); };
 transition.Begin();

 //would like a pause here.       

 SlideTransition slideTransition2 = new SlideTransition { Mode = SlideTransitionMode.SlideRightFadeIn };
 ITransition transition2 = slideTransition2.GetTransition(textBlockSong);
 transition2.Completed += delegate { transition2.Stop(); };
 transition2.Begin();

However the first transition doesn't get a chance to run as the second part kicks in immediately. So how can I add a pause/delay inbetween the two transitions, which doesn't completely halt the app (like Thread.Sleep()) but just waits until the proceeding code is called?

Use Thread.Sleep Method, it blocks the current thread for the specified number of milliseconds.

I'm not that familiar yet, but you can try to put your transition into storyboards. Storyboard have a Completed event.

Edit:

What about this?

SlideTransition slideTransition = new SlideTransition { Mode = SlideTransitionMode.SlideRightFadeOut };
ITransition transition = slideTransition.GetTransition(textBlockSong);
transition.Completed += delegate 
{ 
    transition.Stop(); 

    SlideTransition slideTransition2 = new SlideTransition { Mode = SlideTransitionMode.SlideRightFadeIn };
    ITransition transition2 = slideTransition2.GetTransition(textBlockSong);
    transition2.Completed += delegate { transition2.Stop(); };
    transition2.Begin();

};
transition.Begin();
