How do you use Func<> and Action<> when designing applications?

Question

All the examples I can find about Func<> and Action<> are simple as in the one below where you see how they technically work but I would like

Answer 1

I use an Action to nicely encapsulate executing database operations in a transaction:

public class InTran
{
    protected virtual string ConnString
    {
        get { return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["YourDBConnString"]; }
    }

    public void Exec(Action a)
    {
        using (var dbTran = new DBTransaction(ConnString))
        {
            try
            {
                a(dbTran);
                dbTran.Commit();
            }
            catch
            {
                dbTran.Rollback();
                throw;
            }
        }
    }
}

Now to execute in a transaction I simply do

new InTran().Exec(tran => ...some SQL operation...);

The InTran class can reside in a common library, reducing duplication and provides a singe location for future functionality adjustments.
