DependentTransaction Class
Describes a clone of a transaction providing guarantee that the transaction cannot be committed until the application comes to rest regarding work on the transaction. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: System.Transactions (in System.Transactions.dll)
The DependentTransaction is a clone of a Transaction object created using the DependentClone method. Its sole purpose is to allow the application to come to rest and guarantee that the transaction cannot commit while work is still being performed on the transaction (for example, on a worker thread).
When the work done within the cloned transaction is finally complete and ready to be committed, it can inform the creator of the transaction using the Complete method. Thus you can preserve the consistency and correctness of data.
The DependentCloneOption enumeration is used to determine the behavior on commit. This behavior control allows an application to come to rest, as well as provides concurrency support. For more information on how this enumeration is used, see Managing Concurrency with DependentTransaction.
The following example shows you how to create a dependent transaction.
Public Shared Sub Main() Try Using scope As TransactionScope = New TransactionScope() 'Perform transactional work here. 'Queue work item ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(AddressOf WorkerThread, Transaction.Current.DependentClone(DependentCloneOption.BlockCommitUntilComplete)) 'Display transaction information Console.WriteLine("Transaction information:") Console.WriteLine("ID: {0}", Transaction.Current.TransactionInformation.LocalIdentifier) Console.WriteLine("status: {0}", Transaction.Current.TransactionInformation.Status) Console.WriteLine("isolationlevel: {0}", Transaction.Current.IsolationLevel) 'Call Complete on the TransactionScope based on console input Dim c As ConsoleKeyInfo While (True) Console.Write("Complete the transaction scope? [Y|N] ") c = Console.ReadKey() Console.WriteLine() If (c.KeyChar = "Y") Or (c.KeyChar = "y") Then scope.Complete() Exit While ElseIf ((c.KeyChar = "N") Or (c.KeyChar = "n")) Then Exit While End If End While End Using Catch ex As TransactionException Console.WriteLine(ex) Catch Console.WriteLine("Cannot complete transaction") Throw End Try End Sub Public Shared Sub WorkerThread(ByVal myTransaction As Object) 'Create a DependentTransaction from the object passed to the WorkerThread Dim dTx As DependentTransaction dTx = CType(myTransaction, DependentTransaction) 'Sleep for 1 second to force the worker thread to delay Thread.Sleep(1000) 'Pass the DependentTransaction to the scope, so that work done in the scope becomes part of the transaction passed to the worker thread Using ts As TransactionScope = New TransactionScope(dTx) 'Perform transactional work here. 'Call complete on the transaction scope ts.Complete() End Using 'Call complete on the dependent transaction dTx.Complete() End Sub
