Question

I usually do something like this:

    Dim Attempts = 0
    Try
Retry:
        <Block>
    Catch
        If Attempts < 3 Then
            Attempts += 1
            Thread.Sleep(2000)
            GoTo Retry
        Else
            Throw
        End If
    End Try

This is really bad looking for me, but i don’t know of a better way of doing it.

Answer 1

I think that’s a bad usage, I use this one, and it’s much cleaner.

Dim maxAttempt As Integer = 2

For i As Integer = maxAttempt To 0 Step -1

 Try
    ...
    'Successful Quit
    Exit For

  Catch
     Thread.Sleep(2000)

  End Try
Next
