Starting with iOS5 you can have the master view visible in portrait too.
Prior to iOS5 you will get a UIBarButtonItem and a UIPopoverController you
can present from that item if rotating the device to portrait. The popover
will then contain the master controller. Disadvantage: it covers your view
partially.
If you cannot use iOS5, you might want to have a look at
MGSplitViewController and its Monotouch port MTSPlitViewController
(https://github.com/Krumelur/MTSplitViewController).

Betreff: [MonoTouch] UISplitViewController...

We are about to start working on a port of a Silverlight app which uses Bing
maps to the iPad using MKMapView... 

Since Im very new to this, I researched the past few days iPad mapping apps
(Gowalla, NatGeo map, travel advisor apps, etc). I noticed that almost all
of them (I venture to say 100% of them) are used in a landscape orientation.
Im assuming this is because the developers are using the
UISplitViewController (which doesn't appear in Portrait).

My problem lies in that our BA has added to the reqs that the app be useable
in both Portrait and Landscape orientations (for whatever reason). 

Ive managed to lay out some UI in Interface Builder, but I am not using any
of the Controller objects.
(for example, my left nav is a view that resizes on orientation, as well as
a view that contains the MKMapView control).

In my Left nav, I want to put a TabBar, but because Im using a view for this
section, I can't seem to place a TabBarController.

Am I way off here? In Silverlight, Id create grids that i hide/show with the
corresponding buttons... would the the possible here. In other words, if i
have 3 tab buttons (Search, History, and Favorites), can I create 3
corresponding views with tables in them and just hide/show them based on
which button is pressed?

Thanks in advance...
