Monotouch iPhone Landscape Mode

Question

How do I keep a Monotouch iPhone app in landscape mode when loading a new view controller from an xib?

To switch to landscape mode when the app loads I use:

 app.StatusBarOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientation.LandscapeRight;

I would like to be able to rotate the view in interface builder and design the interface. I can hit the rotation arrow in the corner of my interface builder view to rotate it and save, but it does not affect the app when it is run.

This link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1517058/monotouch-rotate-view-in-portrait-landscape say to use:

viewRef.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(angle);

So I tried

 this.view.Transform =  CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(3.141f * 0.5f);

But I got strange results. It turned out I was using .view instead of .View. Now it works great with:

 this.View.Transform =  CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(3.141f * 0.5f);
