[MonoTouch] "Get" method not found Monotouch

[Chris Hatton]

Hi Josh,

It's not an uncommon problem... There is a *[Preserve]* attribute which 
you can add to any member, instructing the linker that it should not be 
stripped from output.

 From the following page: http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/troubleshooting


      System.MissingMethodException (anything else)

The member was likely removed by the linker, and thus doesn't exist in 
the assembly at runtime.  There are several solutions to this:

  * Add the [Preserve]
    <http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=T:MonoTouch.Foundation.PreserveAttribute> attribute
    to the member.  This will prevent the linker from removing it.
  * When invoking mtouch
    <http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=man:mtouch%281%29>, use
    the *-nolink* or *-linksdkonly* options.
      o *-nolink* disables all linking.
      o *-linksdkonly* will only link MonoTouch-provided assemblies,
        such as /monotouch.dll/.

Note that assemblies are linked so that the resulting executable is 
smaller; thus, disabling linking may result in a larger executable than 
is desirable.

I see you already solved you immediate issue in the time it took me to 
quickly throw the laptop off the table 'mid-post' to eat dinner... but 
this still might be of use to you or someone else.
