SqlTransaction Class
Represents a Transact-SQL transaction to be made in a SQL Server database. This class cannot be inherited.
System::MarshalByRefObject
System.Data.Common::DbTransaction
System.Data.SqlClient::SqlTransaction
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
The SqlTransaction type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Connection | Gets the SqlConnection object associated with the transaction, or nullptr if the transaction is no longer valid. |
![]() | DbConnection | Specifies the DbConnection object associated with the transaction. (Inherited from DbTransaction.) |
![]() | IsolationLevel | Specifies the IsolationLevel for this transaction. (Overrides DbTransaction::IsolationLevel.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Commit | Commits the database transaction. (Overrides DbTransaction::Commit().) |
![]() | CreateObjRef | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | Dispose() | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the DbTransaction. (Inherited from DbTransaction.) |
![]() | Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the DbTransaction and optionally releases the managed resources. (Inherited from DbTransaction.) |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetLifetimeService | Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | InitializeLifetimeService | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone(Boolean) | Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | Rollback() | Rolls back a transaction from a pending state. (Overrides DbTransaction::Rollback().) |
![]() | Rollback(String) | Rolls back a transaction from a pending state, and specifies the transaction or savepoint name. |
![]() | Save | Creates a savepoint in the transaction that can be used to roll back a part of the transaction, and specifies the savepoint name. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IDbTransaction::Connection | Gets the DbConnection object associated with the transaction, or a null reference if the transaction is no longer valid. (Inherited from DbTransaction.) |
The application creates a SqlTransaction object by calling BeginTransaction on the SqlConnection object. All subsequent operations associated with the transaction (for example, committing or aborting the transaction), are performed on the SqlTransaction object.
Note |
|---|
Try/Catch exception handling should always be used when committing or rolling back a SqlTransaction. Both Commit and Rollback generate an InvalidOperationException if the connection is terminated or if the transaction has already been rolled back on the server. |

The following example creates a SqlConnection and a SqlTransaction. It also demonstrates how to use the BeginTransaction, Commit, and Rollback methods. The transaction is rolled back on any error. Try/Catch error handling is used to handle any errors when attempting to commit or roll back the transaction.
