ASP.NET Core 6: working with 'InvalidOperationException' When Using Multiple DbContexts with Transactions
I'm working with an scenario when trying to manage transactions across multiple DbContexts in my ASP.NET Core 6 application. I have two DbContexts, `ApplicationDbContext` and `LoggingDbContext`, and I want to perform operations on both within a single transaction. However, when I attempt to commit the transaction, I receive the following behavior: ``` InvalidOperationException: The operation is not valid due to the current state of the entity. ``` I am using the `IDbContextTransaction` interface to handle transactions. Here's a simplified version of what I have: ```csharp public async Task<bool> ExecuteTransactionAsync(MyEntity entity, LogEntity logEntity) { using (var transaction = await _applicationDbContext.Database.BeginTransactionAsync()) { try { _applicationDbContext.MyEntities.Add(entity); await _applicationDbContext.SaveChangesAsync(); _loggingDbContext.LogEntities.Add(logEntity); await _loggingDbContext.SaveChangesAsync(); await transaction.CommitAsync(); return true; } catch (Exception ex) { await transaction.RollbackAsync(); // Log the behavior Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); return false; } } } ``` I've verified that both DbContexts are properly configured in the `Startup.cs` file and that they are both set up for use with SQL Server. The scenario seems to arise when trying to commit the transaction after performing operations on both contexts. I have also tried using a single `DbContext` to perform all operations, which works without scenario, but I want to maintain separation between my application data and logging data. Is there a recommended approach to handle transactions across multiple DbContexts in ASP.NET Core 6? Are there any best practices or patterns I should consider to avoid running into this exception?
