Xamarin.iOS + MvvmCross - Notes about how to use Mvx TableViewSource

The available v3 table sources are:

Abstract classes

• MvxBaseTableViewSource
  • base functionality only
  • no ItemsSource - generally not used directly
• MvxTableViewSource.cs
  • inherits from the basetable and addes ItemsSource for data-binding
  • inheriting classes need only to implement protected abstract UITableViewCell GetOrCreateCellFor(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath, object item);

Concrete classes

• MvxStandardTableViewSource.cs
  • inherits from MvxTableViewSource
  • provides the 'standard iPhone cell types' via UITableViewCellStyle
  • within these you can bind TitleText, DetailText, ImageUrl and (with some teasing) Accessory
• MvxSimpleTableViewSource.cs
  • inherits from MvxTableViewSource
  • provides a single cell type for all items in the collection - via string nibName in the ctor
  • within these cells you can bind what you like - see videos (later)
• MvxActionBasedTableViewSource.cs - provides some Func<>style hooks to allow you to implement GetOrCreateCellFor without inheriting a new class from
