DataContext.BeginTransactionAsync(IsolationLevel isolationLevel, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Method

.NET Standard 2.x

Asynchronously starts a database transaction using the specified isolation level.

Namespace: SnapObjects.Data

Assembly: SnapObjects.Data.dll

Syntax

public virtual Task<IAdoDbTransaction> BeginTransactionAsync(IsolationLevel isolationLevel, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

Parameters

isolationLevel System.Data.IsolationLevel

An enumeration value for the IsolationLevel enumeration which specifies the transaction locking behavior for the connection.

cancellationToken CancellationToken

A cancellation token that can be used by other objects or threads to receive notice of cancellation.

Returns

Task<IAdoDbTransaction>

Returns a task that represents the asynchronous operation.

Examples

The following code example starts an asynchronous transaction using the specified isolation level (ReadCommitted). It uses a CancellationTokenSource type parameter to make this operation cancelable.

using System.Data;
using System.Threading;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.DataContextExamples
{
    public class BeginTransactionAsyncExample
    {
        private readonly SchoolContext _context;
        public BeginTransactionAsyncExample(SchoolContext context)
        {
            _context = context;
        }

        public async void Example4(CancellationTokenSource cts)
        {
            try 
            {
                // Starts the asynchronous transaction with the specified isolation level.
                await _context.BeginTransactionAsync(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted, cts.Token);
                
                try
                {
                    string sql = @"INSERT Department

                    _context.SqlExecutor.Execute(sql);
                    
                    // Attempts to commit the transaction.
                    _context.Commit();
                    Console.WriteLine("Record has been written to database.");
                }
                catch (Exception)
                {
                    // Attempts to roll back the transaction.
                    try
                    {
                        _context.Rollback();

                    }
                }    
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) 
            {
                // The operation was cancelled before completion.
                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
            }
            catch (Exception e) 
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
            }
            finally 
            {
                cts.Cancel();
