DependentTransaction Class
Assembly: System.Transactions (in system.transactions.dll)
The DependentTransaction is a clone of a Transaction object created using the DependentClone method. Its sole purpose is to allow the application to come to rest and guarantee that the transaction cannot commit while work is still being performed on the transaction (for example, on a worker thread).
When the work done within the cloned transaction is finally complete and ready to be committed, it can inform the creator of the transaction using the Complete method. Thus you can preserve the consistency and correctness of data.
The DependentCloneOption enumeration is used to determine the behavior on commit. This behavior control allows an application to come to rest, as well as provides concurrency support. For more information on how this enumeration is used, see Managing Concurrency with DependentTransaction.
The following example shows you how to create a dependent transaction.
static void Main(string[] args) { try { using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) { // Perform transactional work here. //Queue work item ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(WorkerThread), Transaction.Current.DependentClone(DependentCloneOption.BlockCommitUntilComplete)); //Display transaction information Console.WriteLine("Transaction information:"); Console.WriteLine("ID: {0}", Transaction.Current.TransactionInformation.LocalIdentifier); Console.WriteLine("status: {0}", Transaction.Current.TransactionInformation.Status); Console.WriteLine("isolationlevel: {0}", Transaction.Current.IsolationLevel); //Call Complete on the TransactionScope based on console input ConsoleKeyInfo c; while (true) { Console.Write("Complete the transaction scope? [Y|N] "); c = Console.ReadKey(); Console.WriteLine(); if ((c.KeyChar == 'Y') || (c.KeyChar == 'y')) { //Call complete on the scope scope.Complete(); break; } else if ((c.KeyChar == 'N') || (c.KeyChar == 'n')) { break; } } } } catch (System.Transactions.TransactionException ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex); } catch { Console.WriteLine("Cannot complete transaction"); throw; } } private static void WorkerThread(object transaction) { //Create a DependentTransaction from the object passed to the WorkerThread DependentTransaction dTx = (DependentTransaction)transaction; //Sleep for 1 second to force the worker thread to delay Thread.Sleep(1000); //Pass the DependentTransaction to the scope, so that work done in the scope becomes part of the transaction passed to the worker thread using (TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope(dTx)) { //Perform transactional work here. //Call complete on the transaction scope ts.Complete(); } //Call complete on the dependent transaction dTx.Complete(); }
