How do I use TransactionScope with MySql and Entity Framework? (getting Multiple simultaneous connections…are not currently supported error)

Question

I have a new .NET 4.0 console application that uses:

• MySql 6.4.4.0
• Entity Framework 4.2 (code-first)
• Visual Studio 2010

So far

Answer 1

Try this, Create transaction after creating context.

public static void TestInsert()
{
    using (var context = new MyDbContext())
    {
        using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope())
        {
            // Create a test user
            DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
            var user1 = new User { UserID = 1, UserName = "test" };
            context.Users.Add(user1); 

            context.SaveChanges();

            scope.Complete();
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

Kindly complete the scope.

The Complete method commits the transaction. If an exception has been thrown,

Complete is not called and the transaction is rolled back.

 scope.Complete();

See MSDN.
