NHibernate 3.0: TransactionScope and Auto-Flushing

Question

In NHibernate 3.0, FlushMode.Auto does not work when running under an ambient transaction only (that is, without starting an NHibernate transaction). Should it?

Answer 1

Good news. Thanks to Jeff Sternal (who nicely identified the problem) I updated https://nhibernate.jira.com/browse/NH-3583 and thanks to the NH staff, there's already a fix and a pull request so in the upcoming release 4.1.x.x this ISSUE will be fixed.
