There are two ways to [handle database](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/111898/how-do-i-handle-database-migrations-and-schema-changes-in-production-environments) [transactions](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/864/explain-acid-rule-of-thumb-for-transactions) in [ASP.NET](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/934/default-folders-available-inside-the-asp-dot-net-application-folder) [MVC](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155803/define-cache-profile-in-mvc):

1. **Using the Entity Framework**

The Entity Framework provides a built-in transaction management system. To use it, you need to create a DbContext object and then use the BeginTransaction method to start a transaction. Once you have started a transaction, you can perform all of your database operations within the transaction. When you are finished with your database operations, you can use the Commit method to commit the transaction or the Rollback method to roll back the transaction.

Here is an example of how to use the Entity Framework to handle database transactions:

Code snippet

```plaintext
using (var context = new MyDbContext())
{
    using (var transaction = context.Database.BeginTransaction())
    {
        // Perform database operations here.
        context.SaveChanges();
        transaction.Commit();
    }
}
```

1. **Using the TransactionScope Class**

The .NET Framework provides a class called TransactionScope that can be used to handle database transactions. To use the TransactionScope class, you need to create a new instance of the class and then call the Begin method. Once you have started a transaction, you can perform all of your database operations within the transaction. When you are finished with your database operations, you can call the Complete method to commit the transaction or the Dispose method to roll back the transaction.

Here is an example of how to use the TransactionScope class to handle database transactions:

Code snippet

```plaintext
using (var transactionScope = new TransactionScope())
{
    // Perform database operations here.
    context.SaveChanges();
    transactionScope.Complete();
}
```

Which method you use to handle database transactions in ASP.NET MVC depends on your specific needs. If you are using the Entity Framework, then you should use the Entity Framework's built-in transaction management system. If you are not using the Entity Framework, then you should use the TransactionScope class.
