Parameters

name String

A name for the transaction.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The name argument is an empty string.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null

Remarks

A transaction needs a name before it can be started, i.e. before one of the 'Start' method is invoked for this transaction object. The name will later appear in the Undo menu in Revit after a transaction is successfully committed.

Another ways of setting the name is either during construction or during the Start(String) method.
