Vanilla Data Access Layer Library 0.6.0 Released

I have just updated Vanilla DAL on Sourceforge. Release 0.6.0 is still in Alpha state, and comes with improved automatic transaction management. I now chose am approach similar to System.Transactions.TransactionScope. Of course nothing as sophisticated, Vanilla DAL's TransactionScope is a simple IDisposable object that consists of a thread-bound transaction and a does some reference-counting. The transaction will be commited when the last TransactionScope is being disposed, resp. rollbacked in case of any exception during execution:

    using (accessor.CreateTransactionScope()) 
    {
        accessor.Update(new UpdateParameter(northwindDataset.Customers));
        accessor.ExecuteNonQuery(new NonQueryParameter(new Statement("DeleteTestCustomers")));
    }

My main problem was how to find out whether the current call to IDisposable.Dispose() happens within the process of exception unwinding. Several people have recommended Marshal.GetExceptionPointers(), which is the only working solution I have found so far. But I consider this a semi-hack. Any better ideas?

By the way, Luis Ramirez has written a nice article on Codeproject.Com, comparing Vanilla DAL to plain ADO.NET, Microsoft Data Access Application Block and SqlNetFramework.
