Dapper.Transaction Discover What Is This Library and How to Use It

What's Dapper Transaction?

Dapper Transaction is exactly like Dapper but extends the IDbTransaction interface instead and uses Dapper under the hood.

• Dapper.Transaction is a library that provides an easy way to manage transactions in .NET applications.
• Transactions are important when working with databases because they allow you to keep your data consistent and avoid data corruption.
• The Dapper.Transaction library makes it easy to work with transactions by providing a simple API that can be used in your code.

Everything Dapper support, Dapper Transaction supports it as well (It's only a new extension method calling Dapper)

Method Supported

Dapper Transaction supports all the methods that are supported by Dapper. The only difference is that these methods can be called from any object of type IDbTransaction instead of from an object of type IDbConnection.

• Execute
• ExecuteAsync
• ExecuteReader
• ExecuteReaderAsync
• ExecuteScalar
• ExecuteScalarAsync
• Query
• QueryAsync
• QueryFirst
• QueryFirstAsync
• QueryFirstOrDefault
• QueryFirstOrDefaultAsync
• QuerySingle
• QuerySingleAsync
• QuerySingleOrDefault
• QuerySingleOrDefaultAsync
• QueryMultiple
• QueryMultipleAsync

Let's consider the following example that shows how to call the extension method.

using (var connection = new SqlConnection(FiddleHelper.GetConnectionStringSqlServerW3Schools()))
{
	connection.Open();
	
	using (var transaction = connection.BeginTransaction())
	{
		// Dapper
		var affectedRows1 = connection.Execute(sql, new {CustomerName = "Mark"}, transaction: transaction);
		
		// Dapper Transaction
		var affectedRows2 = transaction.Execute(sql, new {CustomerName = "Mark"});

		transaction.Commit();
	}
}
