Managed code:

#1 (.NET 2.0)

• Create a System.Transactions.Transaction object, one way or another.
• Use System.Transactions. TransactionInterop.GetTransmitterPropagationToken to generate a propagation token.
• Transfer the bytes to the other side using your favorite mechanism (base64-encoded header element?)
• Call System.Transactions.TransactionInterop.GetTransactionFromTransmitterPropagationToken to get a Transaction object back.

For this to work, of course, the following must be true:

• Each of the parties must be addressable to the other.
• Each of the parties must be able to send RPCs to the other

#2(.NET 3.0):

If you are using WCF,WCF can export transaction context information in the soap message,remote service can use this transaction context info and can join transaction
