Answer 1

Short answer would be no. However, you can smartly use the nature of the Dispose() executement at the end of the object lifecycle. One have already gave a nice MVC example (Html.BeginForm)

I would like to point out one important aspect of IDisposable and using() {} statement. At the end of the Using statement Dispose() method is automatically called on the using context object (it must have implemented IDisposable interface, of course).
