Common Type System (CTS) performs the following functions:

• Establishes a common framework that enables cross-language integration, type safety, and high performance code execution.

• Provides an object-oriented model.

• Defines rules that languages must follow, so that different languages can interact with each other.

Classification of Types

The CTS supports two categories:

* Value Types – It directly stores data in the variable. Value types can be built-in type, user defined types or enumerations.

* Reference Types – It store a reference to the data’s memory address. Reference types can be self describing types, pointer types or interface types. Self-describing types are further split into arrays and class types.  The class types are user defined classes, boxed value types and delegates.

All types derive from the System.Object base type.
