Remarks

Implementing UITableView often requires subclasses of both UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate to provide data and behavior for the table view. Xamarin.iOS provides a single class - UITableViewSource - so that only one class needs to be implemented.

The UITableViewDataSource class methods provide a table view with all the information it requires to display its data - such as informing it of the number of sections and rows, and what cell view to use for each row.

The universally-important function of UITableViewDataSource is to provide individual UITableViewCells in response to calls to GetCell(UITableView, NSIndexPath). That call takes as arguments the UITableView in question and an NSIndexPath. That NSIndexPath is based, in turn, on calls to NumberOfSections(UITableView) and RowsInSection(UITableView, nint), so the application developer must, at a minimum, override these three functions. (The UITableView additionally calls GetHeightForRow(UITableView, NSIndexPath) and other layout-related methods for header and footer views and the application developer must override these as appropriate.)

Static tables may return references to pre-allocated UITableViewCells from calls to GetCell(UITableView, NSIndexPath). Dynamic tables should use the UITableView's built-in cell reuse cache by calling DequeueReusableCell(String, NSIndexPath). In iOS 6 and later, application developers should use RegisterClassForCellReuse(Type, String) or RegisterNibForCellReuse(UINib, String) during initialization, in which case DequeueReusableCell(String, NSIndexPath) will instantiate new UITableViewCells as necessary. If application developers are targeting earlier iOS versions, their override of GetCell(UITableView, NSIndexPath) must check for an null return from DequeueReusableCell(String, NSIndexPath) and instantiate a UITableViewCell as necessary.
