I need to provide a user a list of all primitive types available and was wondering if there is an Enum in the .net library that has all primitive types, so that I don't have to build one.

Enums are reference types, in that they can have methods and can be executed from command line as well , if they have main method.
What is Enum in C#? C# enum is a value type with a set of related named constants often referred as an enumerator list. The C# enum keyword is used to declare an enumeration. It is a primitive data type, which is user-defined.
Approach 1: In this approach, we check the type of the value using the typeof operator. If the type of the value is 'object' or 'function' then the value is not primitive otherwise the value is primitive. But the typeof operator shows the null to be an “object” but actually, the null is a Primitive.
Enum is a reference type, but any specific enum type is a value type. In the same way, System. ValueType is a reference type, but all types inheriting from it (other than System.
Not an enum, but:
var primitives = typeof(int).Assembly.GetTypes()
.Where(type => type.IsPrimitive).ToArray();
