Just curious, is there any support for transactions on plain C# objects? Like
using (var transaction = new ObjectTransaction(obj))
{
try
{
obj.Prop1 = value;
obj.Prop2 = value;
obj.Recalculate(); // may fire exception
transaction.Commit(); // now obj is saved
}
except
{
transaction.Rollback(); // now obj properties are restored
}
}
Just to make answers more useful ;-) is there anything similar in other languages?
Update on STM: here's what it claims:
atomic {
x++;
y--;
throw;
}
will leave x/y unchanged, including chained methods calls. Looks like what I ask for. At least it's very interesting. I think that's close enough. Also, there're similar things in other languages, for example Haskell STM. Notice I don't say that it should be used for production ;-)
