Re attempt server connection after some time
I have a client which is a windows process to get updates from server in c#. The server may be down for maintainance for some time, the client wont not 开发者_运维百科be able to connect to server at this point if it needs to update.
I want to design so that the client re attempts connection after 30 min if connection attempt fails. I understand Thread.Sleep would be bad idea so I would like some suggestions on how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Use a timer. If the function fails to connect, then set a timer to call it again...
e.g.
class MyClass
{
System.Timers.Timer m_ConnectTimer = null;
..
..
void ConnecToServer()
{
if (m_ConnectTimer != null)
{
m_ConnectTimer.Enabled = false;
m_ConnectTimer.Dispose();
m_ConnectTimer = null;
}
//Try to connect to the server
if (bConnectedToTheServer)
{
//Do the servery stuff
}
else //set the timer again
{
m_ConnectTimer = new Timer(30 * 60 * 1000);
m_ConnectTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(TimerHandler)
m_ConnectTimer.Enabled = true;
}
}
void TimerHandler(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
ConnectToServer();
}
}
