Examples

The following code example shows 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]  
    [TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.Mandatory)]  
    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:  
    / * Always executes under a transaction scope.  
    / * The transaction scope is completed when the operation  
    / * terminates without an unhandled exception.  
    /*  
    [OperationBehavior(  
      TransactionAutoComplete = true,  
      TransactionScopeRequired = true  
    )]  
    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

The TransactionFlowAttribute is an attribute used declaratively to associate a specific transaction flow policy with a service operation. The TransactionFlowOption property of this attribute specifies whether the respective operation accepts a transaction flowed from the client, or if the operation requires the client to always flow a transaction. The TransactionFlowAttribute can also be used as an operation behavior to programmatically associate a transaction flow policy with a specific operation. In this case, it should be added to the Behaviors collection on the operation's description.
