TransactionScope Prematurely Completed

Question

I have a block of code that runs within a TransactionScope and within this block of code I make several calls to the DB. Selects, Updates, Creates, and Deletes, the whole ga

Answer 1

Confirmed this error can also be caused by a transaction timeout. Just to add to what Marcus + Rolf have stated, if you haven't explicitly set a timeout on the TransactionScope, the timeout TimeSpan will assume a default value. This default value is the smaller of:

1. If you've overridden the local app.config / web.config setting, e.g.

   <system.transactions>
   <defaultSettings timeout="00:05:00" />
   </system.transactions>
   

2. But this is then 'capped' at the machine.config setting <machineSettings maxTimeout="00:10:00" />
