No, I don't think so. .Net Framework has its own Garbage Collection.

.NET does not have the same concept of destructors as C++ does. The ~T syntax (for C#) you see (where T is the name of the class) is actually a finalizer. You should almost never need to write a finalizer. What you are probably thinking of is a Dispose method or the IDisposable interface. Really the only time you need to use this in your own class is when you are managing native resources (unmanaged memory) yourself or you are internally managing a class that implements it. There are a lot of references available, both here on CP and the web. You can check out this article[^] for more information.
