Question

I have the following code

public string QuestionText 
{
get { return txtBox.Text; }
set {txtBox.Text = value; }
}

where txtBox is a UILabel and everytime I try to access it via QuestionText I get a Null Reference Exception. Am I able to set and get the text like this?

Please note that txtBox will be null until ViewDidLoad occurs.

A better solution if you are running into that issue:

public string QuestionText { get; set; }

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

   txtBox.Text = QuestionText;
}
