Property Value

Remarks

The ReuseIdentifier is set in the cell's constructor and cannot be changed. When cells disappear from view, the UITableView object maintains a queue of those cell objects so they can be reused. The GetCell(UITableView, NSIndexPath) implementation then uses DequeueReusableCell(String) with a given ReuseIdentifier to retrieve an existing cell of the correct type for reuse.
