<h5 id="C1_LiveLinq_LiveViews_View_SetTransaction_C1_LiveLinq_ITransaction_System_Boolean__remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>If a writable property path exists in the view element type (for example, <pre><code class="lang-csharp">Order.Customer.City</code></pre>), then an exception is thrown
unless suppressed by setting <code class="paramref">allowPropertyPaths</code> to True,
because modifying properties using such paths cannot be supported by transactions.
To prevent the exception, set the <code class="paramref">allowPropertyPaths</code> parameter to True,
but make sure you do not use such property paths in your code and don't have a two-way data binding to such property path in your controls.
If you modify a property using such path in your code or through data binding, that modification happens outside the transaction scope.
