TransactionFlowOption Enum

Definition

Namespace:

System.ServiceModel

Assembly:

System.ServiceModel.dll

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

Object

ValueType

Enum

TransactionFlowOption

Fields

Name	Value	Description
NotAllowed	0	A transaction should not be flowed. This is the default value.
Allowed	1	Transaction may be flowed.
Mandatory	2	Transaction must be flowed.

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
  )]

  {
    [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
   */

    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.");
    }

    /*

      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.
