How to pass data from PerformSegue in monotouch

Question

I have table source class and on row click I am calling below function to move to another controller but I want to pass some data.

controller.PerformSegue("backtorootviewsague",controller);

Does any knows how can I achieve it. I am new in monotouch and ios. I cannot figure out how to achieve this.

Answer 1

PrepareForSegue is the right place to do it. For example, if the controller that creates CustomerViewController is called CustomerListViewController, override in CustomerListViewController that method like the following:

public override void PrepareForSegue (UIStoryboardSegue segue, NSObject sender)
{
    base.PrepareForSegue (segue, sender);

    // do first a control on the Identifier for your segue
    if (segue.Identifier.Equals("your_identifier")) {

        var viewController = (CustomerViewController)segue.DestinationViewController;
        viewController.MyData = dataToInject;
    }
}

where CustomerViewController has a public property like the following:

public SomeTypeData MyData { get; set; }

You could see this in action in Xamarin samples.

Hope that helps.
