This quick start guide will walk you through the programmatic creation of and use of NSTableView/NSOutlineView with Xamarin.Mac.

These views often give beginners trouble, as they require knowledge of the delegate/data source pattern and their APIs have both Cell and View based variants.

This example assumes familiarity with the following documentation:

• Mac Patterns

• Mac APIs

The two examples are for:

• NSTableView is a control for displaying tabular data with multiple rows and one or more columns. Apple's NSTableView doc

• NSOutlineView is a control for displaying hierarchal data in a tree like format. Apple's NSOutlineView doc

This example uses the NSView APIs, as they are preferred in new applications.
