I want to be able to design my own UITableViewCell in IB. But I keep getting a null ref exception when trying to access the label I defined in IB.

Here's what I'm doing:

In Interface Builder:

• I removed the "View" and added a UITableViewCell instead.
• Changed the class of the UITableViewCell to "TestCellView".
• Added a UILabel to the cell.
• Added an outlet "oLblText" to TestCellView and connected the UILabel to it.
• Changed the identifier of the class to "TestCellView".

Implement TestCellView.xib.cs

public partial class TestCellView : UITableViewCell
{
    public TestCellView(string sKey) : base(UITableViewCellStyle.Default, sKey)
    {
    }

    public TestCellView(IntPtr oHandle) : base(oHandle)
    {
    }

    public string TestText
    {
        get
        {
            return this.oLblText.Text;
        }
        set
        {
                        // HERE I get the null ref exception!
            this.oLblText.Text = value;
        }
    }
}

** The TestCellView.designer.cs**

[MonoTouch.Foundation.Register("TestCellView")]
public partial class TestCellView {

    private MonoTouch.UIKit.UILabel __mt_oLblText;

    #pragma warning disable 0169
    [MonoTouch.Foundation.Connect("oLblText")]
    private MonoTouch.UIKit.UILabel oLblText {
        get {
            this.__mt_oLblText = ((MonoTouch.UIKit.UILabel)(this.GetNativeField("oLblText")));
            return this.__mt_oLblText;
        }
        set {
            this.__mt_oLblText = value;
            this.SetNativeField("oLblText", value);
        }
    }
}

In my table's source:

public override UITableViewCell GetCell (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
    TestCellView oCell = (TestCellView)tableView.DequeueReusableCell("myCell");
    if(oCell == null)
    {
        // I suppose this is wrong but how to do it correctly?
                // this == my UITableViewSource.
                NSBundle.MainBundle.LoadNib("TestCellView", this, null);
        oCell = new TestCellView("myCell");
    }
    oCell.TestText = "Cell " + indexPath.Row;
    return oCell;
}

Please note that I do NOT want a solution that involves a UIViewController for every cell. I have seen a couple of examples on the web doing this. I just think it is total overkill.

What am I doing wrong?
