Why use a using statement with a SqlTransaction?

Answer 1

In the end, using is just a shortcut for a pattern. But it's a very useful and helpful shortcut, because it makes sure you implement the pattern correctly and means you can do it with less code.

In this case, you haven't implemented the pattern correctly. What happens in your code if the call to tr.RollBack() also throws an exception?
