To add to the other answers above, you may want to add some error handling:

BEGIN TRAN

BEGIN TRY

   EXEC P1

   EXEC P2

   COMMIT TRAN

END TRY
BEGIN CATCH

  ROLLBACK TRAN

END CATCH

Update with C# code (I personally find it a lot easier to keep trans code out of the sprocs and in the data layer - makes composing stored procedures easier at a later stage):

using (var conn = new SqlConnection(...))

    trans = conn.BeginTransaction();

    try
   {
       ...call P1 using transaction
       ...call P2 using transaction

       trans.Commit();
   }
   catch
   {
       trans.RollBack();
       throw;
   }
}
