Also I want to point out what is so special about the Get() and Set() in the NoteViewModel. These methods are defined in the ObservableObject class that ViewModel derives from and they call INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged so that when a property changes the Databinding can update the UI automatically.

The reason they take a lambda (()=>Text) is for compile time type checking. Normally INotifyPropertyChanged implementations takes a string name as a parameter and I find this too prone to error. So by using Set(()=>Text) it will turn the Property into a string and call it for you plus if you make a mistake and type Set(()=>Test) it will fail at compile time.

You can ignore this and handle property changed yourself but I suggest sticking with this pattern because it is so much easier, better looking, and safer.

Just wanted to point out that [Root] and [List] are interchangeable. [List] is used for taking the contents (Elements) of the collection and laying them out in one Section on the current page. A [Root] takes the items of a collection and places them under a Root Element when tapped navigates to a separate page with the Elements.

So in your NotesView you can change lines 10 and 11 to this: [List(ViewType = typeof(NoteView))]

@Jay R. Wren Per the ReadMe for MonoMobile.MVVM:

MonoMobile.MVVM started as adding WPF/Silverlight style binding to MonoTouch.Dialog but in doing so it required more changes than expected and so it became this project rather than just a branch from MonoTouch.Dialog.

“Make me a sandwich”
“What? Make it yourself”
“sudo Make me a sandwich”
“Okay”

Congrats on the release man. TopShelf gets more compelling with every release.

Are there any screenshots showing what the dashboard looks like?

As a side note, are things like this going to be put on topshelf-project.com? It would be nice to consolidate news on that site.

Thanks for all the hard work.
