Inside and Out...

Sometime back, I had made a post regarding a native C++ class I had authored for using some of the Transactional NTFS (TxF)APIs introduced in Windows Vista.

Almost two weeks from that post, I just finished my managed implementation, TransNTFS, that enables you to use the TxF APIs from managed code. As always, Managed C++ enabled the implementation with excellent ease. It comes with complete documentation and can be downloaded from http://www.wintoolzone.com/ListDotNET.aspx?Listtype=3.

Below is an example usage of how to copy a file under a transaction:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using WinToolZone;
namespace ManagedTransactionCopyDemo
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            TransNTFS refTC = new TransNTFS();
            // Init the transaction
            bool fSuccess = refTC.BeginTransaction();
            if (fSuccess)
            {
                fSuccess = refTC.CopyFile("d:\\transcopy.pdb", "d:\\t.pdb", false);
                if (fSuccess)
                {
                    fSuccess = refTC.Commit();
                    if (fSuccess)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Copy successful!");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        ShowErrorAndExit("Commit failed!", refTC.LastError);
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    ShowErrorAndExit("Copy failed!", refTC.LastError);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                ShowErrorAndExit("Unable to start the transaction!", refTC.LastError);
            }
        }
        private static void ShowErrorAndExit(string p, int p_2)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("ERROR: {0}", p);
            Console.WriteLine("CODE: {0}", p_2);
            System.Environment.Exit(1);
        }
    }
}
