[Mono-osx] MonoMac bindings trouble

[Raymond Reggers]

Hi all,

Got another question regarding bindings to my own obj-c classes, my situation and problem is like this:

- I got an obj-c class named TextView which extends NSView, that I compiled into a Cocoa Framework.
- Loaded this Framework with Dlcfn.dlopen 
- Created the bindings using bmac.

Now from c# I can create an instance from my TextView class, add it to an existing view. Works fine. 

But it seems my bindings do not work in a reverse manner. For example if I:

- Add my TextView to MainWindow.xib using XCode. 
- Create an outlet to MainWindowController.

When launching the application, the TextView shows up correctly, but upon resolving the outlet I get a InvalidCastException (stacktrace below). So I tried something else:

- Add my TextView into a NSView
- Create an outlet for the NSView (named it root)
- Access MainWindowController.root.Subviews[0]

In the debugger this shows up as a NSView. And casting to TextView results in the same InvalidCastException. I must be doing something wrong with my bindings? Hope someone can help.

Kind regards,

Raymond
