Question

I decided to make a system for a client using Castle ActiveRecord, everything went well until I found that the transactions do not work, for instance;

               TransactionScope t = new TransactionScope();                 try                {                    member.Save();                     //This is just to see transaction working                    throw new Exception('Exception');                       foreach (qfh.Beneficiary b1 in l)                    {                        b1.Create();                    }                  }                catch (Exception ex)                {                     t.VoteRollBack();                    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);                }                finally                {                    t.Dispose();                } 

But it doesn’t work, I throw an Exception just to try the transaction rolls back, but for my surprise I see that the first [Save] records into the database. What is happening?

I’m new on Castle and NHibernate, firstly I saw it very attractive and I decided to go on with it and MySQL (I’ve never worked with this DB), I tried ActiveWriter and it seemed very promising but after a long and effortly week I see this issue and now I feel like I’m stuck and like I’ve wasted my time. It is supposed to be easy but right now I’m feeling a frustated cause I cannot find enough information to make this workout, can you help me?

Ben’s got it. That doc is a little confusing. Refer to the last block on the page, ‘Nested transactions’.
