Typically, you would send all your communications through a single class that contains some kind of retry logic.

If after a few attempts, the connection still appears to be broken, have the class fire an event to indicate the connection has been lost.

I know some people also send out some kind of ping to the service you are connecting to every few seconds but keep in mind that this can cause unwanted bandwidth consumption if there are a lot of clients.

I'm not sure if there is a TCP connection utility that will check the connection status for you. I think that may be something they are introducing in VS 2k5
