The problem I’m having is that in my brand new project I have a Window with a button (Outlet and Action defined) and in my C# code I’ve wired up the partial void implementation of the Action. Then I have a View that I load and do the same thing.
The issue is that the View causes a System.NullReferenceException, the ‘Click’ code never gets run, instead I end up with the following full trace

=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.
=================================================================
On the advice of a friend, I uninstalled Mono, MonoTouch, MonoDevelop and the iOS SDK and then redownloaded them, reinstalled them in iOS SDK, Mono, MT (Personal licensed edition), MD order. This didn’t change a thing.
The line #14 that is referenced in my Main is this one:
public class Application
{
static void Main (string[] args)
{
#14 ====> UIApplication.Main (args);
}
}
The Partial void ‘click’ event that I’m wiring up is this (solely for testing purposes). The code never arrives here, the exception blows up before it.
partial void clickNewEnvelope (UIBarButtonItem sender)
{
int x;
x = 1;
}
When I create a new project, I’m getting the same thing.
I am seriously stumped, help.
It looks like you’re dangling an event off a UIBarButtonItem and not keeping a reference to it. Any time you do
You need to keep a reference to “foo” so that the hidden class which implements the protocol isn’t collected, as the UIBarButtonItem in this case is the owner of that hidden class.
