Hi there, This is really one of the best lists for .Net, thanks everyone for all the usefull tips I've been reading the last few days. But I've a question about this one. If we don't need distributed transactions, even if you have just one SQL Server database, and we choose not to use COM+ services how can we solve the problem of needing to span one transaction across multiple method calls (different classes/methods)?
We can code all the transaction in one method, calling sucessive stored procedures against the same transaction reference but when we have dozens of classes and transactional methods this can lead to a lot of repeated, and non modular, code (calling the same SP across multiple methods). We'll end up with no business layer at all. How to solve these issue when developing large enterprise applications? I read a great article (at CodeProject I think) on how to implement context aware transactional objects without COM+/DTC overhead, but it needs a lot of testing to be safe to use in critical and large applications. I'm probably missing some points here. What do you think?

You should therefore judge on a case by case basis. > Re 2: WebServices will - once they start supporting transactions - also > be integrated with serviced components, or? This is a non-issue - right > now this is manual transaction coordination, which, btw, can be done :-) So you agree that, at the moment, COM+ is no solution for this case? :-) Peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
