How to setup Azure Service Bus Relay to use with ACS

By -
In August 2014 Microsoft decided to remove Microsoft Azure Active Directory Access Control (also known as Access Control Service or ACS) from the default Azure Portal setup when creating a new Service Bus Namespace.   Shared Access Signature (SAS) is now default. Service Bus authentication through ACS is managed through a companion “-sb” ACS namespace and to create this we now need to do it from the Azure Power Shell command line (thanks Microsoft!) To do this: Download the PowerShell console https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/powershell-install-configure/#Install Open up the Console and type Add-AzureAccount  and then type in the email address and password associated with your account (Work or Microsoft) Once authenticated you need to create the Service Bus Namespace so it's good to go for ACS. To do this you use the  New-AzureSBNamespace command Parameter Set: Default New-AzureSBNamespace [-Name] <String> [[-Locatio...

Switching Xamarin Accounts on Mac and Windows

By -
I had a situation where one of our development Macs already had a Xamarin Indie license installed for iOS development.  We then needed to install a client's Business account onto the Mac but unfortunately Xamarin Studio got confused between the two accounts (it showed the new account name but it still said 'INDIE', when it should have said 'Business').

Then delete the entire folder listed below.  Windows %programdata%\MonoTouch\License\ %programdata%\Mono for Android\License\ You may need to startup Visual Studio as an Administrator. Mac ~/Library/MonoTouch ~/Library/MonoAndroid When you start up Xamarin Studio, and build the an app it should reset and pick up the new license and ...

Separator Insets on UITableView in iOS8 - Xamarin.iOS

By -
In iOS7 it was possible to configure the separator insets by setting the separator inset property on the tableview: tableView.SeparatorInsets = new UIEdgeInsets(0, 0, 0, 0) In iOS8 this no longer works and you need to set the LayoutMargins on both the table and the cell remembering to check if the property is supported first to avoid breaking iOS7 if   ( this .T ableView . RespondsToSelector ( new   Selector ( " setLayoutMargins : " )))     this .T ableView . LayoutMargins   =   new   UIEdgeInsets ( 0 ,   0 ,   0 ,   0 ) ; Commonly the cell separator insets are set by overriding WillDisplay public   override   void   WillDisplay ( UITableView   tableView ,   UITableViewCell   cell ,   NSIndexPath   indexPath ) {     if   (c ell . RespondsToSelector ( new   Selector ( " setLayoutMargins : " )))         c ell . LayoutMargins   =   n...
