Namespace:: System.ServiceModel

Assembly:: System.ServiceModel.dll

Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the service object is released when the current transaction completes.

public:
 property bool ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete { get; set; }

member this.ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete : bool with get, set

Public Property ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the service object is to be released; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Examples

The following code example sets the transaction isolation level to ReadCommitted, disables support for concurrent transactions, requires a flowed transaction from the operation call, and commits the transaction on the service automatically if no unhandled exception occurs.

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Transactions;

namespace Microsoft.WCF.Documentation
{
  [ServiceContract(
    Namespace="http://microsoft.wcf.documentation",
    SessionMode=SessionMode.Required)]

  {
    [OperationContract]
    string TxWork(string message);
  }

  // Note: To use the TransactionIsolationLevel property, you
  // must add a reference to the System.Transactions.dll assembly.
  /* The following service implementation:
   *   -- Processes messages on one thread at a time
   *   -- Creates one service object per session
   *   -- Does not release the service object when the transaction commits
   *   -- The isolation level is read committed.
   */

    }

The underlying binding must support flowed transactions for the following code example to execute properly. To support flowed transactions using the WSHttpBinding, for example, set the TransactionFlow property to true in code or in an application configuration file. The following code example shows a configuration file for the preceding sample.

<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service  
        name="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.BehaviorService" 
        behaviorConfiguration="mex"
        >
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8080/BehaviorService"/>
            <add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8081/BehaviorService"/>
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <!--
          Note:
            This example code uses the WSHttpBinding to support transactions using the 
            WS-AtomicTransactions (WS-AT) protocol. WSHttpBinding is configured to use the  
            protocol, but the protocol is not enabled on some computers. Use the xws_reg -wsat+ 
            command to enable the WS-AtomicTransactions protocol in the MSDTC service.          
          -->

Remarks

Note that you must explicitly set ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete to false if there is an operation with OperationBehaviorAttribute.TransactionScopeRequired set to true and you set ConcurrencyMode to Reentrant. Otherwise a validation exception is thrown because the default value of ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete is true.

In addition, it is important to realize that if the service is created by passing a service object to the ServiceHost.ServiceHost(Object, Uri[]) constructor, the value of this property is treated as if it were false.
