Cleanest way to write retry logic?

Question

Occasionally I have a need to retry an operation several times before giving up. My code is like:

int retries = 3;
while(true) {
  try {
    DoSomething();
         


        

Answer 1

The Transient Fault Handling Application Block provides an extensible collection of retry strategies including:

• Incremental
• Fixed interval
• Exponential back-off

It also includes a collection of error detection strategies for cloud-based services.
