Knowing .NET

Run the generated application the simulator. Ooh!

Click on the RootViewController.xib element in the Solution Explorer and open the RootViewController.xib.cs file. Scroll down to the definition of DataSource : UITableViewSource and change the code in RowsInSection() and GetCell() as displayed above.

Right Click on the NavControllerTutorial project, select “Add…/New File…” and from the iPhone group, select “View Interface Definition with Controller”. Name it “FontListController”

Click on the FontListController.xib and edit FontListController.xib.cs

override ViewDidLoad() so that it replaces the View with a TableView, and then define a private class to supply the data for that table

Open RootViewController.xib.cs and modify the ViewDidLoad() method. This is actually where all the action is! When you want to switch between views (in this case, in response to clicking the “Fonts” button), you simply use PushViewController() to put it onto the NavigationController’s stack. Couldn’t be easier, really.

Click on Fonts…

The weird thing here is that if you click on the left-hand side of the navigation bar, you will return to the Fruit Table View. But the navigation is invisible. To change that, you have to set a name for the View in MainWindow.xib
