Truncating the log means that records of completed transactions that make up the inactive part of the log are deleted. The remaining incomplete transactions in the active part of the log are not deleted. The log is usually truncated after a backup.
This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
Example
