Generic Dispose Function?

In C++ I used to declare the following macro for deleteing objects:

#define SAFEDELETE(x) if(x != NULL) { delete x; x = NULL; }

Is there currently a way to do something similar to this in C#?

I'm constantly writing...

if(x != null)
{
    x.Dispose();
    x = null;
}

and would love to just write something like...

SAFEDISPOSE(x);

Thanks for your help!
