I ran across a your examples and videos on youtube. I can’t seem to find too many examples on Monotouch out there. Do you have any suggestions on where to look for more hardcore use of the Framework?

I am trying to achieve the same look and feel as in Address book and your tutorial really helped.

I can now show the cells as rounded rectangles with disclosure indicator, but I only have one label in them.

How do I get 2 labels in the cell – for field name and field value?
Thanks

I would say the idea is to take your SL/WPF application, think about how you can represent the UI using CocoaTouch (which is exposed to you in C# via Monotouch) and recode just the front end. Before Novell switched the Monotouch page to monotouch.net from mono-project.com/monotouch (or whatever it was) there was mention of a direct SL -> Iphone conversion (or might run off the same XAML, do not remember them giving specifics) in version 2. If you are into SL, that is going to blow your mind even more than Monotouch already does hah.

Say, reading through the FAQ, http://monotouch.net/FAQ, it seems to say that Mono Touch doesn’t run SL/XAP apps. And SL, at least, would require a browser running on the iPhone that would allow the Silverlight plug-in.

So is the idea that you take whatever SL/WPF APIs that they do expose, and write new C# code to sorta kinda create an iPhone “look and feel” that resembles what original SL/WPF app?

@Ben Clayton I have not found anything that cannot be done via monotouch so far, and I am not really expecting to. You can check out the limitations here, but reading that it seems more limitations of what .net code one can use than limitations of obj-c/cocoatouch coverage.

Another enjoyable video – thanks! Have you found anything from the cs193p assignments that you can’t yet do in monotouch? Am quite tempted to try it myself at some point

Thanks a lot Kevin, that was excellent. I’ve been learning Objective-C using the Stanford lectures myself over the last few weeks, and as a big fan of C# it’s great to see quite how much simpler monotouch makes iPhone development. Will watch the rest of your vids asap!
