Answer 1

In short: I think that's impossible, BUT

What you can do is to set a flag on your Database class with default value "false" (it's not good to go) and on the last line inside using block you call a method that sets it to "true", then in the Dispose() method you may check whether the flag "has exception" or not.

using (var db = new Database())
{
    // Do stuff

    db.Commit(); // Just set the flag to "true" (it's good to go)
}

And the database class

public class Database
{
    // Your stuff

    private bool clean = false;

    public void Commit()
    {
        this.clean = true;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        if (this.clean == true)
            CommitToDatabase();
        else
            Rollback();
    }
}
