There is a "value type" and a class version. The value type is just the bits. The VM has instructions that work in the value type. As far as I am aware, you can not use a derived class with these instructions. They also have the concept of "sealed" meaning they can not be subclassed. Last time I looked, strings were an example of sealed classes. Mark.
