How to iterate through the built-in types in C#?

Question

I want to iterate through the built-in types (bool, char, sbyte, byte, short, ushort, etc) in c#.

How to do that?

foreach(var x in GetBuiltInTypes())
{
/

There's no built-in way to do that; you can try:

foreach (var type in new Type[] { typeof(byte), typeof(sbyte), ... })
{
    //...
}

Of course, if you're going to be doing this a lot, factor out the array and put it inside a static readonly variable.
