Session.CommitTransaction() Method

Commits changes made within a transaction and completes it.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpo

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpo.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Xpo

Declaration

public virtual void CommitTransaction()

Remarks

To start a transaction, use the Session.BeginTransaction method. To commit all data modifications made since the start of the transaction and complete the transaction, call the CommitTransaction or Session.CommitTransactionAsync method. To discard these modifications, call the Session.RollbackTransaction method.

To determine if a transaction is in progress, use the Session.InTransaction property.

After the CommitTransaction method is called, the Session.BeforeCommitTransaction event is raised.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to work with transactions.

In this example, the transaction begins when a persistent object is saved. The Session.BeginTransaction method marks the starting point of the transaction. If the value of the persistent object’s Amount property is negative, the Session.RollbackTransaction method is called which completes the transaction discarding all the changes made since the transaction was started.

Otherwise, if the Amount property’s value isn’t negative, the Session.CommitTransaction method is called to complete the transaction and save all the data modifications made.
