Base type of ValueTuple

Question

Can't figure out with next comparing:

var type = typeof(ValueTuple<int, string>);
if (type.BaseType == typeof(ValueTuple)) 
// returns 'false', however, 'type.BaseType' is 'System.ValueTuple' at runtime

Who can to explain that?

As with any struct the base type is System.ValueType.

The similarity to the human eye got me confused for a minute or two.

Don't be embarrassed by it. I only got to it because I knew it couldn't be anything other than `ValueType`. – Paulo Morgado Jul 30 '19 at 07:11
