Transaction Constructor (Document)


Transaction(Document) Constructor

Instantiates a transaction object.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public Transaction(
	Document document
)

Parameters

document Document
The document for which this transaction is going to be used.
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentException Document is a linked file. Transactions can only be used in primary documents (projects or families.)
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
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.
