Gerard,
Yes it is possible to use recursion in C#. It is a very powerful tool. There is a limit on the number of recursive calls (I can't remember the number of the top of my head), but it is a fairly high number.

The example you listed would eventually crash because counter is never updated so counter<10 will always be true, but if you update your counter variable in your recursive method your example should work.

Any variable defined in a recursive method is local to that instance of the recursive call, and will allocate new memory each time.

The consept of recursion is simple but can be a tough consept to get a grasp on, I would suggest reading up on the topic and then writing several test programs with a lot of messageboxes to monitor what is going on.

Hope this helped.
