Allows the application to define units of work, while maintaining abstraction from the underlying transaction implementation

public interface class ITransaction : IDisposable

Remarks

A transaction is associated with a ISession and is usually instanciated by a call to ISession.BeginTransaction(). A single session might span multiple transactions since the notion of a session (a conversation between the application and the datastore) is of coarser granularity than the notion of a transaction. However, it is intended that there be at most one uncommitted ITransaction associated with a particular ISession at a time. Implementors are not intended to be threadsafe.
