typeof(System.Enum).IsClass == false

Question

Founded that:

typeof(System.Enum).IsClass == false

It\'s become strange that System.Enum has also .IsValueType == false<

Answer 1

I happened to recently revisit this problem under CLR4 and guess what, it is fixed now. The following definitions:

public struct SomeValueType{}

public enum SomeEnum
{
    FirstElement
}

with this program

Console.WriteLine( typeof( Enum ).IsClass );
Console.WriteLine( typeof( SomeEnum ).IsClass );

Console.WriteLine( typeof( ValueType).IsClass );
Console.WriteLine( typeof( SomeValueType).IsClass );

Yields the following results:

CLR2: False, False, True, False 
CLR4: True, False, True, False
