Hangfire: enqueue background job from inside a critical section

Question

I'm getting an error trying to enqueue a job inside a lock statement.

lock (lockObj)
{
    BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => MyJob());
}

It complains to distributed transactions being disabled. But I don't want my locks influence on job processing. If I enable MSDTC, will it hold the lock until job processing done? It's the opposite of what I need.

It is not convenient to move BackgroundJob.Enqueue() calls outside of the lock block because it could be inside another method which makes it hard to extract (real cases much more difficult):

lock (lockObj)
{
    MainWork();
    AnotherMethod();
    MoreWork();
}

private void AnotherMethod()
{
   BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => MyJob());
   SomeWork();
}

Could anyone please suggest refactoring/solution I need here?

Answer 1

Revealed that the issue was not because of lock but because of using TransactionScope. So the next code did the trick:

private void AnotherMethod()
{
   using (var ts = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Suppress))
   {
       BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => MyJob());
       ts.Complete();
   }

   SomeWork();
}
