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

int retries = 3;
while (true)
{
    try
    {
        //Do Somthing
        break;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        if (--retries == 0)
            return Request.BadRequest(ApiUtil.GenerateRequestResponse(false, "3 Times tried it failed do to : " + ex.Message, new JObject()));
        else
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
    }
