The following code example demonstrates the ServiceBehaviorAttribute properties. The BehaviorService class uses the ServiceBehaviorAttribute attribute to indicate that:
Implementation methods are invoked on the UI thread.
There is one service object for each session.
The service is single-threaded and does not support reentrant calls.
Furthermore, at the operation level, the OperationBehaviorAttribute values indicate that the TxWork method automatically enlists in flowed transactions or creates a new transaction to do the work, and that the transaction is committed automatically if an unhandled exception does not occur.

using System.Transactions;

public interface IBehaviorService
{
[OperationContract]
string TxWork(string message);
}
// Note: To use the TransactionIsolationLevel property, you
// must add a reference to the System.Transactions.dll assembly.
/* The following service implementation:
* -- Processes messages on one thread at a time
* -- Creates one service object per session
* -- Releases the service object when the transaction commits
*/

ConcurrencyMode=ConcurrencyMode.Single,
InstanceContextMode=InstanceContextMode.PerSession,
ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete=true
)]
public class BehaviorService : IBehaviorService, IDisposable
{
Guid myID;
public BehaviorService()
{
myID = Guid.NewGuid();
Console.WriteLine(
"Object "
+ myID.ToString()
+ " created.");
}
/*
* The following operation-level behaviors are specified:
* -- The executing transaction is committed when
* the operation completes without an
* unhandled exception
* -- Always executes under a flowed transaction.
*/
[OperationBehavior(
TransactionAutoComplete = true,
TransactionScopeRequired = true
)]
[TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.Mandatory)]
public string TxWork(string message)
{
// Do some transactable work.
Console.WriteLine("TxWork called with: " + message);
// Display transaction information.
TransactionInformation info = Transaction.Current.TransactionInformation;
Console.WriteLine("The distributed tx ID: {0}.", info.DistributedIdentifier);
Console.WriteLine("The tx status: {0}.", info.Status);
return String.Format("Hello. This was object {0}.",myID.ToString()) ;
}
public void Dispose()
{
Console.WriteLine(
"Service "
+ myID.ToString()
+ " is being recycled."
);
}
}
}
The underlying binding must support flowed transactions for the following code example to execute properly. To support flowed transactions using the WSHttpBinding, for example, set the TransactionFlow property to true in code or in an application configuration file. The following code example shows the configuration file for the preceding sample.
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service
name="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.BehaviorService"
behaviorConfiguration="metadataAndDebugEnabled"
>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8080/SampleService"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<!--
Note:
This example code uses the WSHttpBinding to support transactions using the
WS-AtomicTransactions (WS-AT) protocol. WSHttpBinding is configured to use the
protocol, but the protocol is not enabled on some computers. Use the xws_reg -wsat+
command to enable the WS-AtomicTransactions protocol in the MSDTC service.
