Setting background color for real in Monotouch

Ok, I'm doing this:

    UIButton btReturn;

    btReturn = UIButton.FromType (UIButtonType.RoundedRect);

    btReturn.Frame = btnBounds;
    btReturn.SetTitle (Caption, UIControlState.Normal);

    btReturn.Layer.CornerRadius = 14;
    btReturn.ClipsToBounds = true;
    btReturn.TouchUpInside += touchHandler;
    btReturn.BackgroundColor = UIColor.FromRGB (0xe4, 0x96, 0x37);
    return btReturn;

Which begs the question... Why the heck is it come up as WHITE background??? I originally tried to set it to clear with a background image, but that doesn't work either...

What could be wrong?

Look here: is-it-even-possible-to-change-a-uibuttons-background-color there is an example aswell on how to create your own button, as you cannot modify the rounded button.

This is because the RoundedRect type of UIButton doesn't allow for any other colour background apart from white.

You'll have to use a UIButtonType.Custom to change the background colour (but you'll lose the nice rounded button and end up with a square button - you'll have to design your own fancy looking button in your favourite graphics package :)

Try like this,

         btReturn.BackgroundView = null;
         btReturn.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Black;
