[Mono-dev] [PATCH] rootcontext

[Marek Safar]

Hello,

Hopefully, I can bring some light to this issue.

IIRC System.Enum is not value type. It's a class which derives from 
ValueType.
I don't remember exactly whether it was because each enum derives from 
Enum or
something else but try typeof (Enum).IsValueType.

Regards,
Marek
