How to use dispatcherTimer.Stop in a different function?

I have a question regarding the use of dispatcherTimer in code. Please look at my situation below:

private void CheckShow(object sender,System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new DispatcherTimer();
   
dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, 1);
   
dispatcherTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(dispatcherTimer_Tick);             
   
dispatcherTimer.Start();
    string etime =DateTime.Now.Second.ToString();      
}
private void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   
if(System.IO.File.Exists(@"C:\Default.xml"))
    {
        LoadingRecent.Text = "Loading Default Show...";
       
LoadBar.Opacity = 100;        string time1 =DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString();
        string time2 =DateTime.Now.Second.ToString();
        double huidigetijd = System.Convert.ToDouble(time2 + "." + time1);
        LoadBar.Value= huidigetijd;
       
Remainingnummer.Text = Convert.ToString(10 - DateTime.Now.Second);
        string etime =DateTime.Now.Second.ToString();
        if (etime =="10")
        {
            var provider = (XmlDataProvider)this.Resources["CUEData"]; 
            var loadfilepath = @"C:\Default.xml";
           
provider.Source = new Uri(loadfilepath, UriKind.Absolute);
            Storyboard Hoofdvenster = (Storyboard)Resources["Hoofdvenster"];
           
Hoofdvenster.Begin(this, true);
        }

As you can see in the top function I start the timer and then in the Tick I do some stuff when the timer reaches ten seconds. However I want to stop the dispatchertimer in that if statement but then I get a context error.

So how do I stop the timer in a different function?

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new DispatcherTimer();
        dispatcherTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(dispatcherTimer_Tick);
        dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1);
        dispatcherTimer.Start();
    }
    private void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
             //Do Something
    }
    private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Dispatcher.InvokeShutdown();
    }
