Can you elaborate?

All specifications which I red tell that the value type is a struct in 
unboxed form. It is stored in thread stack. See this: 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s1ax56ch(VS.80).aspx. Then this: 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.int32.aspx. The System.Int32 
struct.
When it is boxed then it is moved to Heap and becomes the ValueType class.

I really confused where this System.Int32 struct stores accual value? Notice 
that if I make my own struct then I create the included members in my struct 
which carries values.
But I really wonder where Microsoft hides the value of int in System.Int32? 
I tried Reflection to clarify it and found the "m_value" member of 
System.Int32? Is this it?
