namespace: Serenity.Data assembly: Serenity.Net.Services

public interface IUnitOfWork

Members

name	description
Connection { get; }	Gets the connection.
HasStartedTransaction { get; }	Gets whether the unit of work's transaction was actually started. A normal unit of work starts its transaction right away, so the default implementation returns true. Implementations with deferred or no transaction override this with the real state: it stays false until the transaction is successfully started, e.g. for a deferred unit of work whose connection was never opened. Once true it stays true, including after commit, rollback and dispose, so it can reliably be read from OnCommit / OnRollback handlers and after the fact.
event OnCommit	Occurs when Commit completes without error. This signals operation success, not necessarily a database transaction commit: when no underlying transaction exists (e.g. a deferred unit of work whose connection was never opened, or implementations without a real transaction) the event still fires. Check `HasStartedTransaction` when it matters whether work actually ran transactionally.
event OnRollback	Occurs when the unit of work is disposed without a prior Commit. Like `OnCommit`, this is tied to the operation outcome, not to a database transaction: it also fires when no underlying transaction was ever started.
