Question

Using MonoTouch.Dialog I add StyledStringElement elements.

There is a background task that retrieves details that need to update the element.Value

Is there a way to force the element to have it’s text updated after the element.Value is updated?

If you want to update this element-by-element then you can use something like:

public class MyStyledStringElement {

    public void SetValueAndUpdate (string value)
    {
        Value = value;
        if (GetContainerTableView () != null) {
            var root = GetImmediateRootElement ();
            root.Reload (this, UITableViewRowAnimation.Fade);
        }
    }
}

A variation would be to load everything and update once (i.e. iterating on the root.Reload for every Element).
