Hi guys

I'm working on some code that calls a service. This service call could fail and if it does I want the system to try again until it works or too much time has passed.

I am wondering where I am going wrong as the following code doesn't seem to be working correctly... It randomly only does one to four loops...

protected virtual void ProcessAsync(object data, int count)
{
    var worker = new BackgroundWorker();
    worker.DoWork += (sender, e) =>
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException("oh shiznit!");
    };
    worker.RunWorkerCompleted += (sender, e) =>
    {
        //If an error occurs we need to tell the data about it
        if (e.Error != null)
        {
            count++;
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(count * 5000);
            if (count <= 10)
            {
                if (count % 5 == 0)
                    this.Logger.Fatal("LOAD ERROR - The system can't load any data", e.Error);
                else
                    this.Logger.Error("LOAD ERROR - The system can't load any data", e.Error);
                this.ProcessAsync(data, count);
            }
        }
    };
    worker.RunWorkerAsync();
}

Cheers Anthony
