View controller with background image and transparency xamarin

I kind of stuck with a design issue in iOS.

I have a controller with a background image, nothing special.

this.View.BackgroundColor = UIColor.FromPatternImage (UIImage.FromFile ("Images/ballons.jpg"));

On top of the controller I have a view with a background color (white) that is semi-transparent.

this.Frame = new System.Drawing.RectangleF (0, 0, UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width, UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Height);
this.BackgroundColor = UIColor.White;
this.Alpha = 0.5f;

Now the issue is if I add a button or any other controls in my view they also becomes transparent...so am I thinking wrong here...?

I would like the controller to have a background image, the view a white semi-transparent background and all the controls (buttons, images) not to be transparent at all...

Do not change the Alpha of the view, since that will change the transparency of all its elements/subviews. Just set its BackgroundColor to a semi-transparent color using UIColor.FromWhiteAlpha(1, 0.5).
