system.Transactions

Hi everyone,

When I want to use the TransactionScope object, I need to include the
System.Transactions namespace.
But "using System.Transactions;" gives an error:

The type or namespace name 'Transactions' does not exist in the namespace
'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

When I get the folowing line in the web.config, it works:

<add assembly="System.Transactions, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>

Why does I need to add an assembly for the transactions and for other
assemblies not?

thanks for the explanation,

The other assemblies are added by default.

Cheers,

Greg

You need to explicitly add a reference to the System.Transactions DLL.
This library is not required unless you are creating distributed
transactions, which is probably why it's not included in the default
namespaces.
