What is the best workaround for the WCF client `using` block issue?

Question

I like instantiating my WCF service clients within a using block as it\'s pretty much the standard way to use resources that implement IDisposable:

I referred few answers on this post and customized it as per my needs.

I wanted the ability to do something with WCF client before using it so the DoSomethingWithClient() method.

public interface IServiceClientFactory
{
    T DoSomethingWithClient();
}
public partial class ServiceClient : IServiceClientFactory
{
    public ServiceClient DoSomethingWithClient()
    {
        var client = this;
        // do somthing here as set client credentials, etc.
        //client.ClientCredentials = ... ;
        return client;
    }
}

Here is the helper class:

public static class Service
    where TClient : class, ICommunicationObject, IServiceClientFactory, new()
{
    public static TReturn Use(Func codeBlock)
    {
        TClient client = default(TClient);
        bool success = false;
        try
        {
            client = new TClient().DoSomethingWithClient();
            TReturn result = codeBlock(client);
            client.Close();
            success = true;
            return result;
        }
        finally
        {
            if (!success && client != null)
            {
                client.Abort();
            }
        }
    }
}

And I can use it as:

string data = Service.Use(x => x.GetData(7));
