我知道这个答案很老了，但我只是想对此进行评论，因为我在使用这些while, do, whatever语句时遇到了问题。

多年来，我认为我找到了一个更好的方法。这就是使用某种事件聚合，如响应式扩展“Subject”或类似的。当尝试失败时，只需发布一个事件，说明尝试失败，并让聚合器函数重新调度该事件。这使您可以更好地控制重试，而不会用一堆重试循环或其他东西污染调用本身。你也不是用一堆线程来捆绑一个线程。

允许函数和重试消息

public static T RetryMethod<T>(Func<T> method, int numRetries, int retryTimeout, Action onFailureAction)
{
 Guard.IsNotNull(method, "method");            
 T retval = default(T);
 do
 {
   try
   {
     retval = method();
     return retval;
   }
   catch
   {
     onFailureAction();
      if (numRetries <= 0) throw; // improved to avoid silent failure
      Thread.Sleep(retryTimeout);
   }
} while (numRetries-- > 0);
  return retval;
}

用c#、Java或其他语言简单地完成:

  internal class ShouldRetryHandler {
    private static int RETRIES_MAX_NUMBER = 3;
    private static int numberTryes;

    public static bool shouldRetry() {
        var statusRetry = false;

        if (numberTryes< RETRIES_MAX_NUMBER) {
            numberTryes++;
            statusRetry = true;
            //log msg -> 'retry number' + numberTryes

        }

        else {
            statusRetry = false;
            //log msg -> 'reached retry number limit' 
        }

        return statusRetry;
    }
}

并在你的代码中简单地使用它:

 void simpleMethod(){
    //some code

    if(ShouldRetryHandler.shouldRetry()){
    //do some repetitive work
     }

    //some code    
    }

或者你可以在递归方法中使用它:

void recursiveMethod(){
    //some code

    if(ShouldRetryHandler.shouldRetry()){
    recursiveMethod();
     }

    //some code    
    }

对于那些既想对任何异常进行重试，又想显式设置异常类型的人，可以使用以下方法:

public class RetryManager 
{
    public void Do(Action action, 
                    TimeSpan interval, 
                    int retries = 3)
    {
        Try<object, Exception>(() => {
            action();
            return null;
        }, interval, retries);
    }

    public T Do<T>(Func<T> action, 
                    TimeSpan interval, 
                    int retries = 3)
    {
        return Try<T, Exception>(
              action
            , interval
            , retries);
    }

    public T Do<E, T>(Func<T> action, 
                       TimeSpan interval, 
                       int retries = 3) where E : Exception
    {
        return Try<T, E>(
              action
            , interval
            , retries);
    }

    public void Do<E>(Action action, 
                       TimeSpan interval, 
                       int retries = 3) where E : Exception
    {
        Try<object, E>(() => {
            action();
            return null;
        }, interval, retries);
    }

    private T Try<T, E>(Func<T> action, 
                       TimeSpan interval, 
                       int retries = 3) where E : Exception
    {
        var exceptions = new List<E>();

        for (int retry = 0; retry < retries; retry++)
        {
            try
            {
                if (retry > 0)
                    Thread.Sleep(interval);
                return action();
            }
            catch (E ex)
            {
                exceptions.Add(ex);
            }
        }

        throw new AggregateException(exceptions);
    }
}

下面是一个async/await版本，它可以聚合异常并支持取消。

/// <seealso href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/patterns/retry"/>
protected static async Task<T> DoWithRetry<T>( Func<Task<T>> action, CancellationToken cancelToken, int maxRetries = 3 )
{
    var exceptions = new List<Exception>();

    for ( int retries = 0; !cancelToken.IsCancellationRequested; retries++ )
        try {
            return await action().ConfigureAwait( false );
        } catch ( Exception ex ) {
            exceptions.Add( ex );

            if ( retries < maxRetries )
                await Task.Delay( 500, cancelToken ).ConfigureAwait( false ); //ease up a bit
            else
                throw new AggregateException( "Retry limit reached", exceptions );
        }

    exceptions.Add( new OperationCanceledException( cancelToken ) );
    throw new AggregateException( "Retry loop was canceled", exceptions );
}

public delegate void ThingToTryDeletage();

public static void TryNTimes(ThingToTryDelegate, int N, int sleepTime)
{
   while(true)
   {
      try
      {
        ThingToTryDelegate();
      } catch {

            if( --N == 0) throw;
          else Thread.Sleep(time);          
      }
}
