Update 2 .NET Core 2.0 is out now. You can use this API. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.transactions.transactionscope?view=netcore-2.0

Update System.Transactions will be available in NET Core 2.0. See https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/roadmap.md for details on upcoming releases.

Original answer

System.Transactions (or ambient transactions) is not implemented in .NET Core 1.0.0 but may be implemented in future versions.

You can work around this by using explicit transactions.

        using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
        {
            connection.Open();

            using (var transaction = connection.BeginTransaction())
            {
               // transaction.Commit();
               // transaction.Rollback();
            }
        }
