+# Retry + Heartbeat Activity Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to combine **Retry Policies** and **Activity Heartbeats**
+in Temporal's .NET SDK.
+
+## What This Sample Shows
+- How to configure retry settings for an activity.
+- How an activity can send heartbeat progress.
+- How Temporal detects stalled activities via `HeartbeatTimeout`.
+
+This pattern is useful for:
+- Batch processing
+- Migration jobs
+- Long-running operations
+- Resumable workflows
+
+## How to Run
+
+1. Start Temporal locally (`temporalite start`).
+2. Run the worker:
