I posted my question to StackOverflow:

> controller-monotouch

My issue ‹ thanks poupou <http://stackoverflow.com/users/220643/poupou> ! ‹
was that I had to add Autorotate = false to every MonoTouch.Dialog
DialogViewController.

I suppose I should ask questions like this on StackOverflow since it is
easier for others to find the answer. Is there a rule of thumb folks use
when to post to the mailing list vs. SO?

The setup I have works OK w/ newer iOS 4 versions, except that when I
navigate "back" in the navigation controller / MonoTouch.Dialog master
(left) side of the split view, the detail portion (right side "Tab #2"
below) animates vertically.

I uploaded a small sample to
git://github.com/t9mike/MonoTouch-TabPlusNav1-Sample.git.

How I am creating the view controller for the first tab:

   var spit_view = new MySplitViewController();

   spit_view.Delegate = new UISplitViewControllerDelegate();

   spit_view.ViewControllers = new UIViewController[] {

      new MyNavigationController(),

      new DetailViewController("Tab #1")

    };

   Add(UITabBarSystemItem.Search, spit_view); // custom method



Questions:



- After researching this it seems I am doing something unsupported. Is this
true? 

- If supported, is there a fix for this extra animation

- If not supported, what are the alternatives?

- Will my app get approved if I use this look/feel? I see plenty of apps
using this

  design in the app store.



Many Thanks,

-Mike
