Load XIB into ViewController Xamarin?

Question

It is possible to create and load view from a custom XIB in xamarin? In Objective-C is like:

self.viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewController" bundle:nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;

Answer 1

1 - Create your XIB file (example MyView).

2 - In the .cs related to the XIB file add this static creator method:

partial class MyView : UIView
    {
        public MyView (IntPtr handle) : base (handle)
        {    
        }

        public static MyView Create()
        {    
            var arr = NSBundle.MainBundle.LoadNib ("MyView", null, null);
            var v = arr.GetItem<MyView>(0);

            return v;
        }
    }

3 - Add MyView to the ViewController:

public partial class ViewController : UIViewController
{
    MyView v;
    public ViewController (IntPtr handle) : base (handle)
    {
    }

    public override void ViewDidLoad ()
    {
        base.ViewDidLoad ();

        v = MyView.Create();
        v.Frame = View.Frame;
        View.AddSubview (v);
    }
}
