Does Transient Fault Handling Application Block work with Windows Azure Mobile Services

Question

Hi I need some clarity on this

Does the Transient Fault Handling Application Block work with Windows Azure Mobile Service?

I ask this because on the following site it says the following

The Transient Fault Handling Application Block

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh680934(v=pandp.50).aspx

"

The Transient Fault Handling Application Block encapsulates information about the transient faults that can occur when you use the following Windows Azure services in your application:

• SQL Azure
• Windows Azure Service Bus
• Windows Azure Storage
• Windows Azure Caching Service

"

Note the Windows Azure Mobile Services is not in that list

Answer 1

My guess is that the Transient Fault Handling AB documentation is correct and does not include support for Windows Azure Mobile Services. However, that does not mean you are on your own. For example, the Windows Azure Storage libraries for .NET include built-in support for retries. This also appears to be the case for the WAMS library.

In the case of Windows Azure Mobile Services, at least according to this StackOverflow post, the retries are already built-in: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15374435/do-windows-azure-mobile-service-scripts-have-transient-fault-handling
