[MonoTouch] How to use "PresentModalViewController"

[Brent Schooley]

Without seeing your code, my guess is there's a problem in whatever
controller you are displaying modally.  The call to
PresetModalViewController is very simple and I can confirm that it works
(just wrote an app yesterday that uses it).  Poke around your modal view
controller for null references, etc.
