Monotouch Classes

Question

What does MonoTouch.Foundation.Register do? For example:

 [MonoTouch.Foundation.Register("CalendarDayViewController")]

When do I have to add the above? For a .xib to recognize it? Or in place of a .xib?

Bryan is correct, I should update that example and remove the export. Exporting is useful if you're wanting to bind objective-c things like selectors to C# methods. There's a bit more information on export here - http://monotouch.net/Documentation/Binding_New_Objective-C_Types
