You can easily check or determine, whether a type is a Value type or it is a Reference type by using the below code.

Here, I will going to check whether DataTable is value type of reference type?

DataTable MyTable = new DataTable();

Type T = MyTable .GetType();

bool isValueType = T.IsValueType;

isValueType will return false.

So, DataTable are Reference Type.
