Transactional NTFS wrapper

Question

I'm using transactional NTFS wrapper that is available on msdn here to support atomic transactions of file system operations, the available example only shows how to work with transactedFiles but I need also to create, move and copy transacted Directories, I don't know how to use TransactedDirectory Class, can you please help? I tried this code but it doesn't seem to be correct:

   if (Transaction.Current == null)
        {
            throw new Exception("Must be within a transaction scope");
        }
        using (TransactionScope folderTransaction = new TransactionScope(Transaction.Current))
        {
            TransactedDirectory.StartTxFResource("D:\\New");

           folderTransaction.Complete();
           TransactedDirectory.StopTxFResource("D:\\New");

        }

it gives an error "access denied, the folder is being used by another process".

Under which User Account is your process running? Check if it has access to the D:\New folder.

For a quick check, run the process as Administrator (Right click myprocess.exe > Run As Administrator), and if it works then, you should either set the correct permissions, or setup your code to require admin level access.
