Answer 1

You can simply use SqlConnectionStringBuilder properties to sql connection retry.

var conBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder("Server=.;Database=xxxx;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"); conBuilder.ConnectTimeout = 90; conBuilder.ConnectRetryInterval = 15; conBuilder.ConnectRetryCount = 6;

Note:- Required .Net 4.5 or later.
