Is the TransactionScope can be used only for Database/ADO.NET related methods?

Say, I have a Data Access Layer method which performs few activities:

  • one activity includes a database update,
  • another one is writing to a file,
  • and the third one is creating a registry entry.

The method can be considered success only if all the three activities are successful, otherwise it is a failure, and all the preceding activities should be reverted back.

Does TransactionScope supports this? If not, what is the best way of handling such a scenario?

    I don’t believe file operations take part in the transactions. It depends on the OS, I think Vista and Win7 do, but older versions do not. A quick search shows a few assemblies you can download to do this. Search for .NET Transactional File Manager on codeplex.
