Removing UIButtons setBackroundImage Monotouch

Question

I'm trying to remove the images that I've loaded into buttons using

button1.SetBackgroundImage(null, UIControlState.Normal);

and I get an error because I can't set it to null and thats the only way I could possibly think of clearing it. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this?

I've tried doing a FromFile("", Controlstate.Normal), also creating a UIImage and setting that to null and then setting it etc. For some reason I can set the image of a UIImage to null but I can't set the background on the on the button.

Thanks!

Answer 1

can you not just swap the button out with a new one with no bg image?
