TransactionScope Complete() doesn't commit the transaction before exiting the USING statement

Question

I am experiencing this weird behavior where the transaction gets committed only when the using exits and not when calling scope.Complete();

using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.RequiresNew))
       {
        scope.Complete();
           // data still doesn't show in db
       }
       // now shows in db

How do I commit the transaction before exiting the using statement?

Answer 1

from the documentation:

The actual work of commit between the resources manager happens at the End Using statement if the TransactionScope object created the transaction.

So it doesn't look like you can truly commit the transaction before the using statement end.
