MonoTouch.Dialog Overriding GetCell?

Question

In MT.Dialog the Source class has this:

public override UITableViewCell GetCell (UITableView tableView, MonoTouch.Foundation.NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
......
}

In my class:

public class BaseDialogViewController : DialogViewController

how do I override public override UITableViewCell GetCell

This doesn't work:

public override GetCell ....

Thanks

There is nothing to override because I can't get to the item to override as a sub class of MT.Dialog — Ian Vink, May 14 '13 at 19:29

DialogViewController does not have GetCell method. So

public class BaseDialogViewController : DialogViewController

won't work. However DialogViewController.Source, a nested type, has a GetCell method so

public class BaseDialogViewControllerSource : DialogViewController.Source {
    public override UITableViewCell GetCell...
}

should work. Of course you need your own subclass of DialogViewController to use your new subclass of Source. Which can be done by overriding the CreateSizingSource method.
