Question

In MonoTouch I need to process each object in an NSSet. My attempt, using Enumerate, is as follows:

public override void ReturnResults ( BarcodePickerController picker, NSSet results )
{
    var n = results.Count;  // Debugging - value is 3
    results.Enumerate( delegate( NSObject obj, ref bool stop ) 
    {
        var foundCode = ( obj as BarcodeResult ); // Executed only once, not 3 times
        if ( foundCode != null )
        {
            controller.BarcodeScannedResult (foundCode);
        }
    });
// Etc
}

Although the method is invoked with three objects in results, only one object is processed in the delegate. I would have expected the delegate to be executed three times, but I must have the wrong idea of how it works.

Unable to find any documentation or examples. Any suggestion much appreciated.

You have to set the ref parameter to false. This instructs the handler to continue enumerating:

if ( foundCode != null )
{
    controller.BarcodeScannedResult (foundCode);
    stop = false; // inside the null check
}

Here is the ObjC equivalent from Apple documentation.
