New connection and DTS

[Avi]

Hi all,

How do I prevent new connections inside a TransactionScope from going up to
the DTS?

using (TransactionScope scope = new
TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required))

{ Open connection here }

Thanks,

Avi

Avi,

Are you saying you want the connection to participate in the
transaction, but you don't want it to use DTS? Whether or not it uses DTS
completely depends on a number of factors.

For example, if you are not using SQL Server 2005, then you can't
possibly use kernel mode for the transaction, as SQL Server 2000 doesn't
support kernel-mode transactions.

If you are not using MARS on the connection, and you issue another query
against an open connection in a transaction (say you have a data reader open
and you issue another query) , then you are going to start DTS.

Can you give more information about the setup you have and the
connections you are establishing?
