IDbTransaction Interface
Represents a transaction to be performed at a data source, and is implemented by .NET Framework data providers that access relational databases.
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
The IDbTransaction type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Connection | Specifies the Connection object to associate with the transaction. |
![]() ![]() | IsolationLevel | Specifies the IsolationLevel for this transaction. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Commit | Commits the database transaction. |
![]() ![]() | Dispose | Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. (Inherited from IDisposable.) |
![]() ![]() | Rollback | Rolls back a transaction from a pending state. |
The IDbTransaction interface allows an inheriting class to implement a Transaction class, which represents the transaction to be performed at a data source. For more information about Transaction classes, see Transactions and Concurrency (ADO.NET).
An application does not create an instance of the IDbTransaction interface directly, but creates an instance of a class that inherits IDbTransaction.
Classes that inherit IDbTransaction must implement the inherited members, and typically define additional members to add provider-specific functionality. For example, the IDbTransaction interface defines the Commit method. In turn, the OleDbTransaction class inherits this property, and also defines the Begin method.
Notes to ImplementersTo promote consistency among .NET Framework data providers, name the inheriting class in the form Prv Transaction where Prv is the uniform prefix given to all classes in a specific .NET Framework data provider namespace. For example, Sql is the prefix of the SqlTransaction class in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace.
The following example creates instances of the derived classes, SqlConnection and SqlTransaction. It also demonstrates how to use the BeginTransaction, Commit, and Rollback methods.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
