/*from w  w w.  jav a 2s .c o m*/
using System;
namespace SystemType
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        enum MyEnum
        {
            One,
            Two
        }
        public static void Main(string []args)
        {
            try
            {
                bool myBool = false;
                MyEnum myTestEnum = MyEnum.One;
                Type myType = myTestEnum.GetType();
                Console.WriteLine(myType.IsValueType);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("\nAn exception occurred: {0}", e.Message);
            }
        }
    }
