Truth be told I utilize the TextBlock to show what is an official and not particularly the utilization of the Delay property so I believe it's still right :- ).

Hi Jonathan, I recently used the Delay, but a side affect is that, if I edit a property then I can press a submit changes button before the Property Update can occur. This means that I lose my changes.
Is there a way of waiting for pending delays to finishor make them execute immediately?
I've asked the question on StackOverflow too. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31016139/how-t…

Thanks for the explanation of the usage. I had encountered a Binding with a Delay in a team project I joined, and was wondering what the use of a Delay was. Your examples of Slider and TextBox are indeed reasonable reasons to add this delay. So thanks for this article.

Oddly, for me this isn’t working. I’ve set up to a 2000 millisecond delay and it seems to be ignored entirely, binding very frequently. There are only a few elements (in a list), though the ItemsSource itself isn’t bound, it is set in code to a private field…

[…] throttling in line 2 can be removed, as the WPF 4.5 has a Delay binding property, which can be used for the same purpose on the view side, freeing the viewmodel from the scheduling […]

It feels a bit like a hack, but I can see it being useful in some situations.

I sort of like what other control vendors have done, where they have an UpdateSourceTrigger property, where you can specify things like KeyDown, KeyUp, LostFocus ….

When you navigate through the list with the arrow keys, the delay is useful to avoid slowing down the UI. But if you click a particular list item with the mouse, you do not want to have such a delay. Can this also be achieved with WPF 4.5?
