First, import the namespace of System.Data.SqlClient. The System.Data.SqlClient namespace is the.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server. The.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server describes a collection of classes used to access a SQL Server database in the managed space.
| using System.Data.SqlClient; |
We instantiate a Connections object to connect the sample database of Northwind. Then instantiate a SqlTransaction object, and associate it to Connections object. The next step is to instantiate a SqlCommand object, set the Transaction property of SqlCommand to SqlTransaction. After then, use SqlCommand to commit two Sql statements. As one of the statements is incorrect, the transaction will be rolled back on the error.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Northwind;uid=sa;pwd=sa;"); myConnection.Open(); // Start a local transaction SqlTransaction myTrans = myConnection.BeginTransaction(); SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(); myCommand.Connection = myConnection; myCommand.Transaction = myTrans; try {
myCommand.CommandText = "Insert into Region (RegionID, RegionDescription) VALUES (100, 'Description')";
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
myCommand.CommandText = "delete * from Region where RegionID=101";
// Attempt to commit the transaction.
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
myTrans.Commit();
Response.Write("Both records are written to database."); } catch (Exception ep) {
// Attempt to roll back the transaction.
myTrans.Rollback();
Response.Write(ep.ToString());
Response.Write("Neither record was written to database."); } finally {
myConnection.Close(); } |

The front end Default.aspx page looks something like this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Transaction </title>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Insert" /></fieldset>
</div>
</form>
