The IsValueType property indicates whether the target type described by the TypeDescription instance is a value type. A value type is a type that holds data directly, as opposed to a reference type, which holds a reference to the data.
The IsValueType property indicates whether the target type described by the TypeDescription instance is a value type. A value type is a type that holds data directly, as opposed to a reference type, which holds a reference to the data.
Use the IsValueType property to determine if a type is a value type. This can be useful when you need to handle value types differently from reference types, such as when performing operations that depend on the type's memory allocation behavior.
// Example of using the IsValueType property
TypeDescription typeDescription = TypeLibrary.GetTypeDescription(typeof(int));
if (typeDescription.IsValueType)
{
// Perform operations specific to value types
Console.WriteLine("The type is a value type.");
}
else
{
// Perform operations specific to reference types
Console.WriteLine("The type is not a value type.");
}
