How to create nested transactions in Entity Framework using TransactionScope?

问题

I know EF 6 DbContextTransaction, but I'm getting bad experience with it over nested transaction.

Now I'm trying solely using TransactionScope for nested transaction, but also having problem.

This code involved 3 tables changes.

When an exception occured in inner trx dbTrx2, it messed up dbTrx1, as dataChg3.SaveChanges() will failed.

using (var dbTrx1 = new System.Transactions.TransactionScope())
{
    ...
    dataChg1.....

    foreach(var dataChg2 in listOfDataChg2)
    {
        ...
        try
        {
            using (var dbTrx2 = new System.Transactions.TransactionScope())
            {
                ...
                dbTrx2.Complete();
            }
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            ...
            // when ex occured in dbTrx2, it messed up dbTrx1
        }
        ...
    }

    dataChg3.SaveChanges(); // <- error - The operation is not valid for the state of the transaction
    ...
    dbTrx1.Complete();
}

Does anyone ever workout proper nested transaction using entity framework?

回答1:

As at present, EF6 can't properly handle nested transaction.

My workaround, primary to address my need: - when exception occurred in nested transaction, bad data changes will not affect/bring-fort to next SaveChanges() invoke.
