[MonoTouch] View Frame: 460 != 416 - Hidden NavigationBar woes

[MilkyJoe]

The first view in my app does not contain a nav bar. Well, it technically
does, but it's hidden, as navigation is controlled via a series of buttons
initially. The nav bar is made visible again in the view's ViewWillDisappear
event, and this all works as intended.

In the next view, I need to do some critical work in its ViewWillAppear
event. I need to do it here as the form is only loaded once, but its content
changes on each re-appearance, depending on which button was clicked in the
previous view.

The problem I have is that the view's frame size = 320x460, and not the
320x416 I was expecting (as the nav bar's hidden value has been set to
false). From playing around, I can see that this is because the nav bar is
not yet technically visible yet; deduced by the fact that the view's frame
is 320x416 in the ViewDidAppear event.

So... How should I fix this? Should I simply take 44 away from my
calculations to allow for the navbar, or is there an altogether more elegant
solution?

I'd prefer to avoid such hard coding if possible. I'm sure I'm just missing
something.

Thanks
