Class Names in Xamarin to Objective C binding

We are binding a library from Objective C to C#. We want to use different names in our classes in C#.

Do the class in C# and the objective C class must have the same name?

I know that using the MonoTouch.Foundation.ExportAttribute in the methods in C# we can specify different names for the methods and properties... however, I haven't found how to do the same for classes.

Thanks.

Yes, you can specify your own type name byt specifying a Name property to the [BaseType] attribute. E.g.

 [BaseType (typeof (NSObject), Name="NSURL")]
 public interface NSUrl {
 }

That, real life, example allows you to use NSUrl in C# instead of the Objective-C NSURL type name. You can see many more examples, like the one above, in github.
