primitive types enum - does it exist

Question

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.

Not an enum, but:

var primitives = typeof(int).Assembly.GetTypes()
       .Where(type => type.IsPrimitive).ToArray();

The nearest you are going to get is System.TypeCode.
