It is customary to use a DispatcherTimer for these situations... put this into your UserControl:

In the constructor:

Loaded += YourControl_Loaded;

Then in the code behind of the UserControl:

private void YourControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();
    timer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5);
    timer.Tick += Timer_Tick;
    timer.Start();
}

...

private void Timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TextBox.Text = "vokkey, Dave";
    timer.Stop();
}

You can find out more about the DispatcherTimer from the DispatcherTimer Class page at MSDN.
