Methods and Properties Reference for Performing Transactions

Introduction

In some cases, you may want to unite several end-user operations into one entry that will be recorded in the undo/redo history. This can be achieved using the transactions in the Infragistics Undo/Redo Framework™.

Note
Note:

The Undo/Redo methods cannot be invoked while a transaction is open or an exception will be thrown.

Methods reference summary

The following table summarizes the purpose and functionality of the methods related with performing transactions.

Method Description

Creates and start a transaction. This is an UndoManager method and returns UndoTransaction as a result. Once the transaction is started, any changes that are added to the UndoManager will be added to that transaction.

Nested transactions can be created by invoking the StartTransaction method while a transaction is still in progress.

Closes the transaction as well as any open nested transactions within it and the transaction is added to the undo/redo history.

The Commit method can only be invoked while the transaction is still opened. Once the transaction is closed, its property IsClosed returns T rue and invoking the method results in an exception.

Closes the transaction and reverses the actions that had happened up to that point while the transaction was open.

The Rollback method can only be invoked while the transaction is still opened. Once the transaction is closed, its property IsClosed returns True and invoking the method results in an exception.

Executes a specified Action within a transaction.

If an exception occurs while the transaction is in progress, the Rollback method is invoked. Otherwise, the Commit method is invoked.
