I'm assuming that you are using SQL Server.... This is a known problem and I'd heard it might be fixed in next release. Until then:
1. Bracket the Transaction.Rollback or Transaction.Commit in a try catch block and ignore the error. 2. Run the command "SELECT @@TRANCOUNT" to see if you still have an active transaction (>0) or not (=0) before attempting to commit or rollback. Hope this helps, Bob Beauchemin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Greg Gates [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 1:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] Transaction rollback Hi everyone: I have a method that executes a batch of stored procedures wrapped in an ADO.NET transaction. Naturally I rollback the transaction if an exception occurs. However, an exception can occur in the catch block if a transaction rollback has already occurred in the database. (in this case, the origin is a trigger that raises an error and rolls back the transaction in certain circumstances). This makes sense to me as the code is trying to rollback a transaction that has already been rolled back. Is it possible to determine the state of the transaction from code? In my exception code I would like to check if there is an open transaction before attempting to do a rollback. thanks, Greg You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
