Transaction Constructor (Document)

Instantiates a transaction object.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)

Syntax

C#
public Transaction(
	Document document
)
Visual Basic
Public Sub New ( _
	document As Document _
)
Visual C++
public:
Transaction(
	Document^ document
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
The document for which this transaction is going to be used.

Remarks

The transaction does not start by creating a transaction object. One of the 'Start' methods will need to be called in order to start this transaction.

A transaction cannot start unless is has a valid (non-empty) name. Because this constructor does not take a name, a name must be assigned later before or during the 'Start' method.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentException Document is a linked file. Transactions can only be used in primary documents (projects or families.)
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
