c# - Cancel combobox selection in WPF with MVVM

Question

I've got a combobox in my WPF application:

<ComboBox  ItemsSource="{Binding CompetitorBrands}" DisplayMemberPath="Value" 
   SelectedValuePath="Key" SelectedValue="{Binding Path=CompMfgBrandID, Mode=TwoWay,
   UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Text="{Binding CompMFGText}"/>

Bound to a collection of KeyValuePair<string, string>

Here is the CompMfgBrandID property in my ViewModel:

public string CompMfgBrandID
{
    get { return _compMFG; }
    set
    {    
        if (StockToExchange != null && StockToExchange.Where(x => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(x.EnteredPartNumber)).Count() > 0)
        {
            var dr = MessageBox.Show("Changing the competitor manufacturer will remove all entered parts from the transaction.  Proceed?",
                "Transaction Type", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
            if (dr != DialogResult.Yes)
                return;
        }

        _compMFG = value;
        StockToExchange.Clear();

        ...a bunch of other functions that don't get called when you click 'No'...
        OnPropertyChanged("CompMfgBrandID");
    }
}

If you choose "yes", it behaves as expected. Items are cleared and the remaining functions are called. If I choose 'No', it returns and doesn't clear my list or call any of the other functions, which is good, but the combobox still displays the new selection. I need it to revert back to the original selection, as if nothing had changed, when the user picks 'No'. How can I accomplish this? I also tried adding e.Handled = true in codebehind, to no avail.

Very simple solution for .NET 4.5.1+:

<ComboBox SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Delay=10}" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"  />

It's works for me in all cases. You can rollback selection in combobox, just fire NotifyPropertyChanged without value assignment.
