Sql Azure - Frequent timeout error

Question

I am using azure sql with many quartz windows service which runs every 2 mins. I sometimes get following error

Message:An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner 
 exception for details.|System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A 
 transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server.

Any Idea how to resolve this? We are using EF 6.1 and open context in "using" block.

Answer 1

Found the answer here. While working with Azure SQL we should have logic to retry the database operation. EF 6.0 gives it out of the box
