Re: determine if type is not .net type
If you mean to separate types that the core libraries define
(System.dll, etc) from your own types, then there isn't anything built
in. The most generic approach would be to check the declaring assembly
against a list that you pre-define (or perhaps use the strong name
etc).

Re: determine if type is not .net type
It depends precisely what you mean - it's not entirely clear. If you just
want to know whether the type is an enum or not, check GetType().IsEnu m. If
you mean "is it something other than the primitive types int, bool, string
etc." you could check GetType().IsPri mitive or GetType().GetTy peCode(). If
you mean "is it something defined in the framework class library or not",
then you have to try something along the lines of what Marc says.

Re: determine if type is not .net type
That's what I was afraid of.
You'd think they'd build this in , it's such an obvious need.

never need this information.
In what way is the need so obvious? What makes it such an important thing
to be able to do that you're surprised it's not built-in?

Re: determine if type is not .net type
Indeed - actually, I like that fundamentally there is no distinction,
and all types are (largely) equal citizens...
