How to rollback a transaction in Entity Framework

c#, entity-framework, rollback, savechanges, transactions

Solution

OK

I created a sample a application like the example from the the question and afterwords I checked in the DB and no users were added.

Conclusion: ObjectContext.SaveChange it's automatically a transaction.

Note: I believe transactions will be needed if executing sprocs etc.

Problem

``` string[] usersToAdd = new string[] { "asd", "asdert", "gasdff6" }; using (Entities context = new Entities()) { foreach (string user in usersToAdd) { context.AddToUsers(new User { Name = user }); } try { context.SaveChanges(); //Exception thrown: user 'gasdff6' already exist. } catch (Exception e) { //Roll back all changes including the two previous users. } ``` Or maybe this is done automatically, meaning that if error occurs, committing changes are canceled for all the changes. is it?
