Work In Progress - MvvmCross lists sample

I'm working on some new sample code (slowly!)

This is being checked into: https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross-Tutorials/tree/master/Collections

A preview of this content - with very bad audio - is at: http://screencast.com/t/foV2Eoj6

I will blog more fully about this soon... and I will add some CollectionView as well as TableView code... but in the meantime, here's a screenshot and the code behind it:

	using System;
	using Collections.Core.ViewModels;
	using Cirrious.MvvmCross.Touch.Views;
	using Cirrious.MvvmCross.Views;
	using Cirrious.MvvmCross.Binding.Touch.ExtensionMethods;
	using Cirrious.MvvmCross.Binding.Touch.Views;
	using System.Collections.Generic;
	using MonoTouch.Foundation;
	using MonoTouch.UIKit;
	using Collections.Core.ViewModels.Samples.SmallFixed;
	using Cirrious.MvvmCross.Interfaces.ViewModels;
	using Collections.Core.ViewModels.Samples.ListItems;
	using Collections.Core.ViewModels.Samples.MultipleListItemTypes;
	namespace Collections.Touch
	{
	public class PolymorphicListItemView
	: MvxBindingTouchTableViewController<PolymorphicListItemTypesViewModel>
	{
	public PolymorphicListItemView (MvxShowViewModelRequest request)
	: base(request)
	{
	Title = "Poly List";
	}
	public override void ViewDidLoad ()
	{
	base.ViewDidLoad ();
	var source = new TableSource(TableView);
	this.AddBindings(new Dictionary<object, string>()
	{
	{source, "{'ItemsSource':{'Path':'Animals'}}" }
	});
	TableView.Source = source;
	TableView.ReloadData();
	}
	public class TableSource : MvxSimpleBindableTableViewSource
	{
	private static readonly NSString KittenCellIdentifier = new NSString("KittenCell");
	private static readonly NSString DogCellIdentifier = new NSString("DogCell");
	public TableSource (UITableView tableView)
	: base(tableView)
	{
	tableView.RegisterNibForCellReuse(UINib.FromName("KittenCell", NSBundle.MainBundle), KittenCellIdentifier);
	tableView.RegisterNibForCellReuse(UINib.FromName("DogCell", NSBundle.MainBundle), DogCellIdentifier);
	}
	public override float GetHeightForRow (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
	{
	return KittenCell.GetCellHeight();
	}
	protected override UITableViewCell GetOrCreateCellFor (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath, object item)
	{
	NSString cellIdentifier;
	if (item is Kitten) {
	cellIdentifier = KittenCellIdentifier;
	} else if (item is Dog) {
	cellIdentifier = DogCellIdentifier;
	} else {
	throw new ArgumentException("Unknown animal of type " + item.GetType().Name);
	}
	return (UITableViewCell)TableView.DequeueReusableCell(cellIdentifier, indexPath);
	}
	}
	}
	}

Special thanks due to Mike Bluestein for his Xaminar on iOS6 and UICollectionViews - I learnt a lot watching and listening to it - http://dotnetmobilepodcast.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/introduction-to-collection-views-in-ios.html - and need to watch it a few more times yet!
