I suppose one solution would be to pass the SqlConnection as a parameter to the function that will be working on it but for some reason I don't like that.

using (SqlConnection mySqlConnection = new SqlConnection(...))
{
   myFunc1(ref mySqlConnection );
   myFunc2(ref mySqlConnection );
}

private SqlConnection mySqlConnection = null;
using (mySqlConnection = new SqlConnection(...))
{
   myFunc1();
   myFunc2();
}

public class MyDAL : IDisposable
{
   SQLConnection mySqlConnection = null;
   public MyDAL()
   {
       mySqlConnection = new SqlConnection(...);
   }

   public void Dispose()
   {
        //Dispose connection here
   } 
}

using(MyDAL dal = new MyDAL())
{
    //Call MyFun1,MyFun2
}
