How to populate a table from a controller in Xamarin?

I am currently filling out a table view as follows:

public class DataViewController : UIViewController
{
    public override void ViewDidLoad ()
{
     base.ViewDidLoad ();
         //...
         this.DataTableView.Delegate = new DataTableViewSource();
    }

    public class DataTableViewSource : UITableViewSource
    {
         //UITableSource methods
    }
}

Because of this, I have to somehow pass my data to a DataViewTableSource. This works, but I prefer to manage my tabular data in the UIViewController itself (including cells, etc.). A kind of how Objective-C works with the implementation of the UITableViewDataSource protocol (interface).

Is this possible in Xamarin?

This is possible if you use Xamarin.iOS 7.0 or up and make your own view constructor IUITableViewDataSourceor IUITableViewDelegate.

Example:

public class DataViewController : UIViewController, IUITableViewDataSource, IUITableViewDelegate
{
    public override void ViewDidLoad ()
    {
         base.ViewDidLoad ();
         //...
         this.DataTableView.WeakDataSource = this; //Make sure to use WeakDataSource instead of DataSource
    }

    public override int RowsInSection (UITableView tableview, int section){

    }

    public override UITableViewCell GetCell (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
    {

    }
}

, Optional Objective-C, override Objective-C.

:

[Export ("tableView:accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:")]
public void AccessoryButtonTapped (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
}

Xamarin Studio/Xamarin.iOS Visual Studio, intellisense .
