In experimenting it seems you need an actual subclass to set the cell style as
you never manually call the cell constructor and there is no other way to
choose the style.
If I pass the handle to base ( handle ) it appears that the default
constructor, that configures the style and reuse identifier by passing these to
base ( style, reuseIdentifier ), never gets called?
I probably won't actually use the styles anyway but it doesn't seem to work as
I'd expect. Mostly trying to get a clearer picture of what is going on. Since
starting transitioning to Universal I've noticed several behaviors that seem
odd. Trying to determine if I'm doing something new, if things changed, or if
they're bugs.
I noticed yesterday that it is now ok for that special constructor to be
protected instead of public. It didn't work on one computer but did on the
other .. after the second finished updating Xamarin Studio then it worked on
both. So I guess it's actively being worked on?
Thanks,
