In addition to the tag as suggested by Philippe, what you can do is create an "Outlet" in your class that references the control, which will give you the equivalent of referencing it by name.

UIKit controls (views) don't have names, but they do have tags, which are integer values

You can find a control/subview by calling ViewWithTag():

UIView subview = new UIView(..);
subview.Tag = 100;

parentView.AddSubview(subView);

In another method:

UIView subView = parentView.ViewWithTag(100);
