Pages 69 thru 73 discusses Transaction Management. TransactionScope on page 73 seems to be the author's preferred method, but it is not implemented in the sample web site.

Has anyone implemented TransactionScope in the BLL? Can you provide any insights as to changes needed in the BLL and DAL, especially when multiple tables are updated. The SQL Client approach has a using statement for a single SQL statement, which performs and automatic Close/Dispose of the connection.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I didn't try to use transaction on DAL or BLL level,
but there is no conflict between "using statement" and transaction.
Because you use transaction on an open connection and just execute sql commands one by one until you commit.

TransactionScope is implemented in the BLL: in the Order class in the store module.

Quite frankly, I can't think of any reason why you'd need to use it anywhere else. There are really no other areas where multiple inserts or updates take place, unless I'm remembering incorrectly.

Perhaps you could explain where and how you feel transactions would be useful.
