Scope Guard Statement in C#

Question

The Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) idiom and the try-finally statement form the backbone of the traditional approaches to writing exception safe programming.

My question is: Is there something like Scope Guard Statement available on C#?

Answer 1

There's not a direct translation of the scope guard idiom built into C# or in the BCL, but Alex Rønne Petersen wrote up a blog post with a solution that leverages the IDispoable interface and C#'s using statements to do something similar to what you're looking for.
