I am using Xib file on which I drag and drop a TableViewController. My goal is to use custom cells on the TableViewController. I edit the class in the properties panel of the first cell to a Specific name(Let's say MyCustomCell) to get a custom cell. After pressing Enter in the cell name editing field, Visual Studio generates the corresponding code behind file MyCustomCell.cs with designer class file.

So far so good. But when I try to compile the project I get this error : Table views with embedded sections and cells are only supported in storyboard documents

Is there a way to do this with a Xib file ?

Not supported by Apple, use a Storyboard instead – SushiHangover Dec 14 '17 at 16:30
Thanks @SushiHangover. So Storyboard are the only way ? – FolabiAhn Dec 14 '17 at 16:32
Do you have a specific issue with using a Storyboard? – SushiHangover Dec 14 '17 at 16:36
I'm really newbie to xamarin ios. I don't really have a correct answer for your question. I just know that we used to use Xib, and maybe this have something to do with the navigation on storyboard. – FolabiAhn Dec 15 '17 at 07:06
Don't add `TableViewController` into xib, one xib file can only include one viewcontroller. You should use Storyboard instead. – ColeX Dec 15 '17 at 09:30
