Reconnect if lost connection to host using TCP - C#

Vote count:

If the host goes offline, they lose all connected clients and they don't automatically connect back due to my break; in the code. If I do not do the break; in the code, it mass spams the same user connected over and over. Basically, if the host goes down in the middle of a session, I want the clients to automatically reconnect once the host goes back up.

Here's my code

public static void tryConnect()
{
while (true)
 {
  try
         {
    TcpClient client = new TcpClient();
            client.Connect(IPAddress.Parse(host), port);
            NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
    string user = Environment.UserName;
    byte[] userByte = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(user);
    stream.Write(userByte,0,userByte.Length);
    stream.Close();
    client.Close();
    break;
      }
    catch
      {
    Thread.Sleep(10000);
      }
}
