Question

I can’t seem to see the NSValueTransformer class when developing a MonoMac application using MonoDevelop. For instance, this simple code gives a compilation error:

public class MyTransformer : MonoMac.Foundation.NSValueTransformer
{
}

But I do see it added to this fork of the official MonoMac distribution:

https://github.com/baulig/monomac/commit/2c4e6d24e966bb795fb70624ea5bebce74f653fc

How come it isn’t included by default? How can include the commit from the above link in my distribution? Or can I perform value transforms in IB without explicitly referencing this class/interface?

Answer 1

NSValueTransformer was added on August 8th, which possibly predates the most recent release?

I build monomac from source and I am using NSValueTransformer in my code.

This article should help you build from source and use that in your distribution:
