I get this error:
'RetryPolicy' is an ambiguous reference between 'Microsoft.Practices.TransientFaultHandling.RetryPolicy' and 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.RetryPolicy'
I wonder where is the redundancy, does StorageClient now include Retry abilities?
Yes Windows Azure Storage client libraries does include Retry policies specific functionalities built into and can be used by referencing as appropriate. The RetryPolicies in the Storage Client Library are used to allow the users to customize the retry behavior when and exception occurs.
With reference to Windows Azure Storage, the details about retry policies are described here with source multiple case scenarios and code examples.
