I have some code that is repeated throughout my application. Part of it exists at the beginning of a function and the rest at the end of the function. I'm getting tired of repeating myself, so I thought I'd wrap it up into a class that implements IDisposable and use the "using" statement to wrap the code of the function. Like this...

using( MyStuff stuff = new MyStuff())
{
...
}

The problem with this approach is in handling exceptions. Does anyone know of a way to detect in the Dispose method whether or not an exception was thrown? (I looked at the stack trace in the debugger and it looked normal.) I'll also entertain any other ways of wrapping this code, as long as it's not...

MyStuff stuff = new MyStuff();

try
{
stuff.DoFirstPart();
...
stuff.DoSecondPart();
}
catch( Exception)
{
stuff.HandleException(e)
}

(It's still too much to type over and over again. What can I say? I'm lazy.)
