In case anyone is interested in the reflection code to accomplish this, here it goes:
private static readonly PropertyInfo ConnectionInfo = typeof(SqlConnection).GetProperty("InnerConnection", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
private static SqlTransaction GetTransaction(IDbConnection conn) {
var internalConn = ConnectionInfo.GetValue(conn, null);
var currentTransactionProperty = internalConn.GetType().GetProperty("CurrentTransaction", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
var currentTransaction = currentTransactionProperty.GetValue(internalConn, null);
var realTransactionProperty = currentTransaction.GetType().GetProperty("Parent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
var realTransaction = realTransactionProperty.GetValue(currentTransaction, null);
return (SqlTransaction) realTransaction;
}
Notes:
- The types are internal and the properties private so you can’t use dynamic
- internal types also prevent you from declaring the intermediate types as I did with the first ConnectionInfo. Gotta use GetType on the objects
