TransactionFlowOption Enum

Definition

An enumeration that is used with the TransactionFlowAttribute to specify the transaction flow policy for a service operation.

public enum class TransactionFlowOption
public enum TransactionFlowOption
type TransactionFlowOption = 
Public Enum TransactionFlowOption
Inheritance
TransactionFlowOption

Fields

Allowed 1

Transaction may be flowed.

Mandatory 2

Transaction must be flowed.

NotAllowed 0

A transaction should not be flowed. This is the default value.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of this enumeration together with the TransactionFlowOption class at the operation level.

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Transactions;

namespace Microsoft.WCF.Documentation
{
  [ServiceContract(
    Namespace="http://microsoft.wcf.documentation",
    SessionMode=SessionMode.Required
  )]
  public interface IBehaviorService
  {
    [OperationContract]
    string TxWork(string message);
  }

  // Note: To use the TransactionIsolationLevel property, you
  // must add a reference to the System.Transactions.dll assembly.
  /* The following service implementation:
   *   -- Processes messages on one thread at a time
   *   -- Creates one service object per session
   *   -- Releases the service object when the transaction commits
   */
  [ServiceBehavior(
    ConcurrencyMode=ConcurrencyMode.Single,
    InstanceContextMode=InstanceContextMode.PerSession,
    ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete=true
  )]
  public class BehaviorService : IBehaviorService, IDisposable
  {
    Guid myID;

    public BehaviorService()
    {
      myID = Guid.NewGuid();
      Console.WriteLine(
        "Object "
        + myID.ToString()
        + " created.");
    }

    /*
     * The following operation-level behaviors are specified:
     *   -- The executing transaction is committed when
     *        the operation completes without an
     *        unhandled exception
     *   -- Always executes under a flowed transaction.
     */
    [OperationBehavior(
      TransactionAutoComplete = true,
      TransactionScopeRequired = true
    )]
    [TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.Mandatory)]
    public string TxWork(string message)
    {
      // Do some transactable work.
      Console.WriteLine("TxWork called with: " + message);
      // Display transaction information.

      TransactionInformation info = Transaction.Current.TransactionInformation;
      Console.WriteLine("The distributed tx ID: {0}.", info.DistributedIdentifier);
      Console.WriteLine("The tx status: {0}.", info.Status);
      return String.Format("Hello. This was object {0}.",myID.ToString()) ;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
      Console.WriteLine(
        "Service "
        + myID.ToString()
        + " is being recycled."
      );
    }
  }

Remarks

This enumeration is used to instantiate an instance of the TransactionFlowAttribute class, which is used to mark a service contract method to indicate its transaction flow policy.
