Notes

To use, add a CustomTableCell to your project (drag it from the Library to the Navigator) and then drag the controls you want into it. You can then use it with the iOSTable.CreateCustomCell method in the table's data source RowData method or with the iOSTable.AddRow method.

Compatibility

iOS projects on the iOS operating system.
