And it would ''not'' involve the relatively expensive boxing and unboxing conversions. This goes for any primitive and value type (primitive types are just a subset of value types). <code>int</code> is a value type, and in C# you can define new value types.

You may declare arrays of custom value types and the array will contain the actual values not a boxed references to values.

Which is the case for List.[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3wcytfd1.aspx]. There is a lot of syntactic sugar in C#.
