N=39 - CrossLight on Xamarin.iOS/MonoTouch (aka Project Chimp)

This video is a follow on from http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/n30-crosslight-aka-project-chimp-n1.html where I showed how to use the MvvmCross binding layer in Android without using the higher layers (the navigation service, the plugin loader, the thread dispatcher, etc).


In this video I quickly do the same thing for Xamarin.iOS.


The process is pretty simple:


1. Add references to the CrossCore and Binding assemblies for MvvmCross (in the video I use nuget CrossCore package - https://www.nuget.org/packages/MvvmCross.HotTuna.CrossCore/)

2. Add a small setup class and call it from your appdelegate start code



3. Add you ViewModel - and INotifyPropertyChanged will do

4. Adjust your ViewController so that it can do data-binding to an instance of your ViewModel



5. Run :)
