Um, no, C# most definitely uses GC, not ref counting, and you can't not use it.
Ref counting is still GC...
I don't think so. Ref counting is a counter associated with the object which counts references to it and when it becomes ~~null~~ 0, object is destroyed. Hence ref counting. While GC does graph traversal to find which objects can be reached and marks unreachable ones as candidates for destroying.
