I remember that it was (still is?) necessary in MonoTouch to keep explicit references to UITableViewCells returned by UITableViewSource.GetCell() to avoid collection of the managed cells. Wit regards to this issue, I have some questions:

  • As of MonoTouch 5.2.12: is it still required to keep an ArrayList() with the managed cells created and returned be GetCell()?
  • If I use Storyboards and dynamic cell prototypes, I never explicitly create a UITableViewCell but use DequeueReusableCell() only. What about this case?
  • What about GetViewForHeader()? Do I have to keep references to the views I return from that method? Or is MonoTouch internally taking care of this?

    As far as I know, the only scenario where you need to hold a reference to individual cells is if you have both a delegate on them and the cell is not a custom class.

    If you subclass UITableViewCell, you shouldn’t need to hold any references.

    If you don’t set any delegates, you also shouldn’t need to hold any references.
