If you’re migrating your skills from web to mobile development it’s really easy to think in terms of passing user defined values from page to page when entering into a mobile environment. UIViewControllers aren’t web pages though, in the UIViewController world the ViewController is an object so no need to pass anything. Here’s a UISearchBar… Continue reading Passing UISearchBar Values To Another ViewController in MonoTouch
Dismiss the Keyboard When Clicking the UISearchBar Search Button in MonoTouch
Like me, if you’re new to MonoTouch and iOS and you’re coming from a long period in Visual Studio then things are different. If you’ve found this blog post then you know what I mean.

The FBI Child ID App Doesn’t Have
Password protection… I’m in agreement with some of the Customer Reviews on iTunes. This App should have its own security and strong passwords should be enforced. Apps like this are good but I think they should also include a Privacy Policy considering the nature of the information.

Applying Visual Studio .Net 2010 SP1 is arduous at best. Mostly, I’m likely griping over the amount of time I’ve had to invest to apply a SP. I still love the tools but good grief already! Initially, when downloading the SP via the MSDN Web installer all appeared to be going smooth until this appeared:… Continue reading Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Upgrade Fiasco: silverlight_sdk.msi is unavailable …
