OperationBehaviorAttribute.TransactionAutoComplete Property

public:
 property bool TransactionAutoComplete { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool TransactionAutoComplete { get; set; }

member this.TransactionAutoComplete : bool with get, set

Public Property TransactionAutoComplete As Boolean

Property Value

true to complete the transaction scope automatically on successful execution of the operation; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Examples

The following code example shows an operation that executes within a mandatory distributed transaction. The TransactionScopeRequired property indicates that the operation executes under a transaction scope and the TransactionAutoComplete property indicates that if no unhandled exceptions occur, the transaction scope is completed automatically. If an unhandled exception does occur, the transaction is aborted.

Remarks

Set the TransactionAutoComplete property to false to complete or abort transactions directly in the code for the operation.

Handled exceptions can be thrown in the course of the operation without automatically aborting the transaction. Only unhandled exceptions trigger an automatic abort.
