Q: 

What is the offical terminology for the basic .NET objects in C#

What is the official term for the basic object types available in the C#? I am creating API documentation and I need to explain any that one property of my API will accept any basic C# object (string, Int32, etc.) and it will not accept any complex data type (struct, class)

A: 

Built-in Data Types | Basic Data Types | Default Data Types All works fine ...

I think I would call them primitives.

I'd be tempted to use 'CLR types'

+4  A: 

Primitive types sounds like the right term.

Here's the definition from MSDN.

I thought it was intrinsic. Am I thinking of something else?
