Transactions for C# objects?

Question

Just curious, is there any support for transactions on plain C# objects? Like

using (var transaction = new ObjectTransaction(obj))
{
  try
  {
    obj.Prop1          


        

Answer 1

For what its worth, a full-blown STM is a little ways out, and I would strongly recommend against rolling your own.

Fortunately, you can get the functionality you want by carefully designing your classes. In particular, immutable classes support transaction-like behavior out of the box. Since immutable objects return a new copy of themselves each time a property is set, you always have a full-history changes to rollback on if necessary.
