CLR/C# equivalent to XACT_STATE() I am porting a set of T-SQL stored procedures to C#/CLR. In the T-SQL, we use XACT_STATE() to determine if an error requires rolling back to a savepoint or rolling back the transaction entirely.

I cannot find an equivalent check of the transaction using the System.Data.SqlClient.SqlTransaction or System.Transactions.TransactionScope objects.

Does anyone know how to check the transaction state from within C#/CLR?
XACT_STATE() is not something that SqlClient has any special insight on, much like transaction level. So, just query it with SqlCommand.

// If you already have an open connection...
public int GetXactState (SqlConnection connection)
{   
    using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("Select XACT_STATE();", connection)) {
        return (int)command.ExecuteScalar();
    }
}
