How to make two insertion all successful and failure? - asp.net-mvc

Question

In my recent project, for each user's payment, it needs to insert a Receipt and an Invoice into the SQL DB. I have 2 functions for it, InsertReceipt() and InsertInvoice(), so the code is like:
void DoPayment()
{
InsertReceipt();
InsertInvoice();
}
bool InsertReceipt()
{
// insert to SQL with a ReceiptId
// return true or false;
}
bool InsertInvoice()
{
// insert to SQL with an InvoiceId
// return true or false;
}
ReceiptId and InvoiceId have to be unique and consecutive here.
My question is, how can I do to make InsertReceipt() and InsertInvoice() all successful or all failure? Or I have to make a new function InsertReceiptAndInvoice(), and use SQL Transaction?

If you use a stored procedure, you absolutely can use transaction. You can read about transaction in Microsoft docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/language-elements/begin-transaction-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15
With C#, you can use transaction with SqlConnection. Code example:
private static void ExecuteSqlTransaction(string connectionString)
{
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
connection.Open();
SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
SqlTransaction transaction;
// Start a local transaction.
transaction = connection.BeginTransaction("SampleTransaction");
// Must assign both transaction object and connection
// to Command object for a pending local transaction
command.Connection = connection;
command.Transaction = transaction;
try
{
command.CommandText =
"Insert into Region (RegionID, RegionDescription) VALUES (100, 'Description')";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
command.CommandText =
"Insert into Region (RegionID, RegionDescription) VALUES (101, 'Description')";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
// Attempt to commit the transaction.
transaction.Commit();
Console.WriteLine("Both records are written to database.");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Commit Exception Type: {0}", ex.GetType());
Console.WriteLine(" Message: {0}", ex.Message);
// Attempt to roll back the transaction.
try
{
transaction.Rollback();
}
catch (Exception ex2)
{
// This catch block will handle any errors that may have occurred
// on the server that would cause the rollback to fail, such as
// a closed connection.
Console.WriteLine("Rollback Exception Type: {0}", ex2.GetType());
Console.WriteLine(" Message: {0}", ex2.Message);
}
}
}
}
