.NET Framework Class Library
IEnlistmentNotification Interface

Describes an interface that a resource manager should implement to provide two phase commit notification callbacks for the transaction manager upon enlisting for participation.

Namespace:  System.Transactions
Assembly:  System.Transactions (in System.Transactions.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Interface IEnlistmentNotification
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As IEnlistmentNotification
C#
public interface IEnlistmentNotification
Visual C++
public interface class IEnlistmentNotification
JScript
public interface IEnlistmentNotification
Remarks

In order for a resource manager to participate in a transaction, it must enlist in the transaction through the transaction manager. The Transaction class defines a set of methods whose names begin with Enlist that provide this functionality. The different Enlist methods correspond to the different types of enlistment that a resource maanger may have.

This class describes an interface that a resource manager should implement to provide two phase commit notification callbacks for the transaction manager upon enlisting for participation. For each resource manager's implementation of the IEnlistmentNotification interface, you should enlist it using the EnlistVolatile()()() method or the EnlistDurable()()() method of the Transaction class, depending on whether your resource is volatile or durable. For more information on enlistment and 2PC, see Enlisting Resources as Participants in a Transaction and Committing a Transaction in Single-Phase and Multi-Phase respectively.

The transaction manager notifies the enlisted object at different phases of the Two Phase Commit Protocol by the following methods.

Method

Description

Prepare

This method of an enlisted object is used as a callback by the Transaction Manager during the first phase of a transaction, when the transaction manager asks participants whether they can commit the transaction.

Commit

This method of an enlisted object is used as a callback by the Transaction Manager during the second phase of a transaction if the transaction is commited.

Rollback

This method of an enlisted object is used as a callback by the Transaction Manager during the second phase of a transaction if the transaction is aborted (that is, rolled back).

InDoubt

This method of an enlisted object is used as a callback by the Transaction Manager during the second phase of a transaction if the transaction is in doubt.

NoteNote:

You should be aware that notifications might not be sent sequentially, or in a particular order.

Examples

The following example shows an implementation of this interface, as well as enlisting the object as a participant in a transaction using the EnlistVolatile()()() method.
