how to add some delay between startup projects in solution?
I want Client project to be started after 2-3 seconds from starting WindowsService.
Why I need this?
WindowsService runs socket server and Client runs socket to connect to server. WindowsService loads slowly than Client, and this causes an exception on client side when connecting to server which is not run yet
I would probably add a retry mechanism within the client. That way not only does it help in the “starting up from Visual Studio” case – it also helps if the server happens to be restarting while the real client connects. The fact that the server is on a faster machine doesn’t mean the server will never need to restart, does it?
Indeed, you may well want to add this retry mechanism in such a way that the client can recover even if the server is restarted while it’s connected. It depends on what the project is doing, of course.
