Re: Is a TypeDesc a boxed value?

TypeDesc can represent arrays, byrefs, pointers or function types. I
don't believe they can represent a boxed value type.

I may be helpful for you to know that the MethodTable is same for both
boxed and unboxed value types. For example, to determine whether an
objRef contains a boxed value type, you simply check whether it contains
a value type: objRef->GetMethodTable()->IsValueClass().

Subject: [DOTNET-ROTOR] Is a TypeDesc a boxed value?

If I have a TypeDesc object, how do I determine
whether that represents a boxed value type?
