DialogViewController _RootVC;
RootElement _rootElement;
UIBarButtonItem _addButton;
UIBarButtonItem _EditButton;
DataBaseAccess da =new DataBaseAccess();
public string _name;
EntryElement StrainName;
//Load all the datas
private bool LoadMain()
{
_window = new UIWindow (UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds);
_rootElement = new RootElement("Strain")
{
new Section()
{
(StrainName = new EntryElement ("Strain Name","Enter Name",""))
},
new Section()
{
}
};
List ();
_RootVC = new DialogViewController (UITableViewStyle.Grouped,_rootElement,true);
_nav = new UINavigationController(_RootVC);
//_EditButton= new UIBarButtonItem(UIBarButtonSystemItem.Edit);
_EditButton = new UIBarButtonItem("Delete", UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain,null);
_addButton = new UIBarButtonItem(UIBarButtonSystemItem.Add);
_RootVC.NavigationItem.LeftBarButtonItem = _EditButton;
_RootVC.NavigationItem.RightBarButtonItem = _addButton;
_addButton.Clicked += (sender, e) =>
{
if (StrainName.Value=="")
{
return ;
}
da.Addnew (StrainName.Value);
var strain = new Strains{Name = StrainName.Value};
var strainElement = new RootElement(StrainName.Value)
{
new Section()
{

Answer 1

I think the best way is the create a new DialogViewController and to implement your saving code there.

Answer 2

You should subclass UINavigationView and all your views should inherit form it
