Hi all,

Does anyone have a simple example that shows how to use the GameKit's GMSession and GKPeerPickerController classes within MonoTouch.

I've tried following the GKTank example ( developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/GKTank/listing4.html ), but am finding Objective C hard going and can't work out how to hook up this magical GKSession.Delegate or tap into the GKSession.ReceiveData events. To clarify I'm having a hard time working out how ObjC maps to the C# equivalents.

GKPeerPickerController peerPickerController = new GKPeerPickerController();
peerPickerController.Delegate = new GKPeerPickerControllerDelegate(); // Not too sure about this...

Then tried

peerPickerController.Delegate.PeerConnected += new EventHandler<GKPeerConnectionEventArgs>( MyPeerConnectedMethod );

but that gave me a compiler error of...
"Cannot assign to 'MyPeerConnectedMethod' because it is a method group"

Any ideas/pointers?

In case anyone's wondering ( wow these forums are quiet! ), the way I managed to get GameKit Delegates working, was as follows.

GKPeerPickerController peerPickerController = new GKPeerPickerController();
peerPickerController.Delegate = new XnaTouchPeerPickerControllerDelegate(gkSession, ReceiveData);

peerPickerController.Show();

public class XnaTouchPeerPickerControllerDelegate : MonoTouch.GameKit.GKPeerPickerControllerDelegate
{
private GKSession gkSession;
private EventHandler<GKDataReceivedEventArgs> receivedData;

public XnaTouchPeerPickerControllerDelegate( GKSession aSession, EventHandler<GKDataReceivedEventArgs> aReceivedData )
{
gkSession = aSession;
receivedData = aReceivedData;
}

public override void ConnectionTypeSelected(GKPeerPickerController picker, GKPeerPickerConnectionType type)
{
Console.WriteLine( "User Selected a ConnectionType of : " + type);
if (type == GKPeerPickerConnectionType.Online)
{

picker.Dismiss();
picker.Delegate = null;

// Implement your own internet user interface here.

}
}

/*public override GKSession GetSession(GKPeerPickerController picker, GKPeerPickerConnectionType forType)
{
Console.WriteLine( "GetSession" );

return gkSession;
}*/

public override void PeerConnected(GKPeerPickerController picker, string peerId, GKSession toSession)
{
Console.WriteLine( "Peer ID " + peerId + " Connected to Session ID : " + toSession.SessionID );

// Use a retaining property to take ownership of the session.
this.gkSession = toSession;

// Assumes our object will also become the session's delegate.
gkSession.Delegate = new XnaTouchSessionDelegate();
gkSession.ReceiveData += new EventHandler<GKDataReceivedEventArgs>(receivedData);

picker.Dismiss();

// Remove the picker.
picker.Delegate = null;

// Start your game.

}

public override void ControllerCancelled(GKPeerPickerController picker)
{
Console.WriteLine( "ControllerCancelled");
picker.Delegate = null;
}
}

As you can see at the below links, the PeerPicker dialog displays correctly

This is not how delegates usually work in C#, or at least not how I would normally use them, and is more of an aggregated override of methods.

Well I hope this helps someone as it took me nearly a week to work out it was not standard .NET delegates.
