I'm working on a universal iPhone/iPad application. I'm using MonoTouch, but I can take answers in Obj-C (I should be able to decipher it, and MonoTouch's UIKit is 1 to 1 for the most part). Basically my app has 2 views: a "login" view and a "logged-in" view. On app startup, my login view is the only subview of my main UIWindow. Afte...
what are the best ways to handle json in monotouch. I've seen JSON.net but could not get it to compile in the latest monodevelop. Are there any other libraries or how are people handling this. Are there any guides out there? ...
I am thinking about how an application can be written to work on both Windows 7 Phone and IPhone, one option is to use MonoTouch and structure the app with MVVM, then only the views will need to be different between the platforms. However MonoTouch does not seem to support data binding. When (if) data binding support is added to Mon...

This morning I've heard a rumour that one can buy a single-app licence of MonoTouch (licence for just 1 application). However, in their store (http://monotouch.net/Store) there is no such licence. Was this just a nasty joke? ...
Monotouch compiles the app into the native code. How can Apple know that the app was built using MonoTouch? Does Monotouch leaves a signature in the application? Does Monotouch has its own libraries which could be a trace of the origin or it compiles all the code and all its .NET libraries into native code? ...
I am trying to learn Monotouch and have an SQLite db with information. Using the examples here I can open, fill and query the database (which is set as "Content" in my project), but when I rerun the program, no data exists in the database again. I am guessing that somehow I have to save the database file to the Documents directory after...
Hello, I am trying to create a custom tile layer to work with MapKit, using overlay views provided with the iPhone SDK 4. My work is based on this example here, but adapted to MonoTouch: http://github.com/mtigas/iOS-MapLayerDemo. I have managed to bring the tile images but when calling SetNeedsDisplay(MKMapRect, float) method of my ove...
Is it possible to use 3:rd party libraries written in C# in MonoTouch? For example if I need to do image processing and need to make use of image processing library... Or rephrase the question: Can someone explain to me how 3:rd party libraries both written in obj-c or C# can be used with MonoTouch? BR //Christofffer ...
I'm aware some of you may not be familiar with Monotouch, but this could certainly be a general iOS issue rather than a specific Monotouch issue. I'm recreating an app with similar functionality to the default mail app: This is a simple recreation of our app. It's a UIView which contains a UITableView and a UIToolbar. It's loaded from...
Hi, I have a controller managing a complex view which contains, among other objects, some labels and images. How can I subscribe to touch events to some of the labels and images from my controller? The problem is that UIView does not have a TouchDown event (unlike UIButton for example). Two workarounds came to mind, which are both clu...
Hi I have made the decision to use monotouch to develop an application that browses an rss feed and displays a grid of images much like browsing the picture library actually on the device. My issue is that I have NO idea (even after extensive googling) as to what control I should use. I want to be able to swish through the list of im...
In Android I put my application strings in a file called strings.xml. For example, for an Italian translation I need to create a values-it folder and put a strings.xml file with Italian labels inside this new folder. How does Monotouch manage such internationalization of strings? ...

Hi, Should I use traditional .NET methods or the MonoTouch .NET wrapper (1-1 mapping)? Rephrase: Should I use .NET´s e.g WebClient object or NSURLRequest (in .NET)? I can think of many situations where you have to choose between .NET and .NETified objective-c. Is there a rule of thumb here? Because I don´t think it´s obvious. BR ...
I'm trying to create an iPhone app with a welcome screen that leads to two or three pretty disparate UIs; once you've drilled into one you're not going to have much use for the others, and each one is itself fairly complicated. The designers are all web types and it looks like the "navigation" paradigm is the closest to what they want, ...
I was working on a different portion of my app and finally got back to working on a TableView that I had "finished" before. When you click on a Row in the TableView it should load a new View. I was pretty sure this was working, however now when I click on a Row, the app just freezes with the Row highlighted. I have waited 10 minutes o...
Every example I can find shows me how to create a project where the main window is a NavigationController. I don't want that because once the users navigate to a certain part of my app, I don't want them to be able to get back until a certain point. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to make a NavigationController be a SubView o...
