Why use a using statement with a SqlTransaction?

Question

I\'ve been running into some problems concerning a SqlTransaction I\'m using in my code. During my Googling I see many people using a using statement with a SqlTransaction.<

Answer 1

The reason for this is that the SqlTransaction object will roll back in its Dispose() method if it was not explicitly committed (e.g. if an exception is thrown). In other words, it has the same effect as your code, just a little bit cleaner.
