Created an attachment (id=340299)
 --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=340299)
the external .cs file with the app delegate - it's trivial, you could use your
own

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_2; en-US)
AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.249.49 Safari/532.5

I'd like to use F# with monotouch, so my first step was to see if I could use
an app delegate that's defined (in C#) in a dll.  If I call it like this:

    public class Application
    {
        static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("starting main");
            //var f = new ExternalAppDelegate();
            UIApplication.Main (args, null, "xpd");
        }
    }

I get this error:


Unhandled Exception: MonoTouch.Foundation.MonoTouchException: Objective-C
exception thrown.  Name: NSInternalInconsistencyException Reason: Unable to
instantiate the UIApplication delegate instance. No class named xpd is loaded.
  at (wrapper managed-to-native)
MonoTouch.UIKit.UIApplication:UIApplicationMain (int,string[],intptr,intptr)
  at MonoTouch.UIKit.UIApplication.Main (System.String[] args, System.String
principalClassName, System.String delegateClassName) [0x00000] in <filename
unknown>:0 
  at TouchMeMd.Application.Main (System.String[] args) [0x0000a] in
/Users/jamesmoore/dev/mono/TouchMeMd/TouchMeMd/Main.cs:16 


If I uncomment the line that creates a (unused) instance of the app delegate
class, it does better (it doesn't crash), but that seems strange.

Reproducible: Always
