The usual idiom is something like:

Transaction t = Transcations.Begin(...);
bool committed = false;
try {
   while ( still_not_done() )
     t.Operate(...);
   committed = t.Commit();
} finally {
   if ( !committed )
     t.Rollback();
}

Which nicely lets exception go to the caller of something goes wrong,
and completes cleanly otherwise.
