''' <summary>
''' Allows us to mark the DataPortal_xxx methods in our business
''' classes as transactional.
''' </summary>
''' <remarks>
''' When a method is marked as transactional, the DataPortal
''' mechanism runs the method within a COM+ transactional
''' context, so the data access is protected by a 2-phase
''' distributed transaction.
