ah okay - so what is your goal? just to implement a custom 'selected' cell
appearance?
You said: "Note: Setting SelectionStyle to anything but none makes the
highlighted color show as expected when the row is selected"
Is that the behavior that you _want_? The expected effect of
UITableViewCellSelection.None is that the cell has no distinct style when
selected, so it makes sense that you need to set it to either Blue
(default) or Grey for anything to "happen" (automatically) when a cell is
selected.
if you want the on-tap behavior to be yellow text on a white background,
cell.TextLabel.TextColor = UIColor.Black;
cell.TextLabel.HighlightedTextColor = UIColor.Yellow;
//cell.SelectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.Blue; // or leave as
default
cell.SelectedBackgroundView = new
UIView(newSystem.Drawing.RectangleF(0,0,320,44)){BackgroundColor=UIColor.White};
or else - i'm misunderstanding what you are actually trying to accomplish?
p.s. this code should already be running on the main thread
