How can I reliably check that MSDTC has promoted a transaction to a distributed transaction, from .net code?

Currently a co-worker is testing this by shutting down the coordinator on his machine - if an exception is thrown this is taken as evidence that an attempt to promote the transaction has occurred. Is this a valid test?
