Answer 1

You can simulate drawing the chart by following steps.

1. Custom TableHeaderView with three black rectangle ,just need add three label with its black border.

2. Do the same work as step1 with TableViewCell, and then place a textfield in first rectangle, place a button and a label in second rectangle,place two button in third rectangle.

Sample Code

TableHeaderView

public class headerView : UIView
{
    public headerView()
    {
        this.Frame = new CGRect(0, 0, UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width, 50);

        nfloat width = UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width / 3;

        UILabel title = new UILabel();
        title.Text = "Title";
        title.TextColor = UIColor.Black;
        title.TextAlignment = UITextAlignment.Center;
        title.Font = UIFont.SystemFontOfSize(20);
        title.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Black.CGColor;
        title.Layer.BorderWidth = 1;
        title.Frame = new CGRect(0, 0, width, 50);
        this.Add(title);

        UILabel File = new UILabel();
        File.Text = "File";
        File.TextColor = UIColor.Black;
        File.TextAlignment = UITextAlignment.Center;
        File.Font = UIFont.SystemFontOfSize(20);
        File.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Black.CGColor;
        File.Layer.BorderWidth = 1;
        File.Frame = new CGRect(width, 0, UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width / 3, 50);
        this.Add(File);

        UILabel Option = new UILabel();
        Option.Text = "Option";
        Option.TextColor = UIColor.Black;
        Option.TextAlignment = UITextAlignment.Center;
        Option.Font = UIFont.SystemFontOfSize(20);
        Option.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Black.CGColor;
        Option.Layer.BorderWidth = 1;
        Option.Frame = new CGRect(width * 2, 0, UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width / 3, 50);
        this.Add(Option);
    }
}

table.TableHeaderView = new headerView();

TableViewCell

public CustomVegeCell (NSString cellId) : base (UITableViewCellStyle.Default, cellId)
    {
        SelectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.Gray;

        nfloat width = UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width / 3;

        UIView headingLabel = new UIView();
        headingLabel.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Black.CGColor;
        headingLabel.Layer.BorderWidth = 1;
        headingLabel.Frame = new CGRect(0, 0, width, 100);


        UIView subheadingLabel = new UIView();
        subheadingLabel.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Black.CGColor;
        subheadingLabel.Layer.BorderWidth = 1;
        subheadingLabel.Frame = new CGRect(width, 0, width, 100);

        UIView imageView = new UIView();
        imageView.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Black.CGColor;
        imageView.Layer.BorderWidth = 1;
        imageView.Frame = new CGRect(width *2, 0, width, 100);

        ContentView.Add (headingLabel);
        ContentView.Add (subheadingLabel);
        ContentView.Add (imageView);

        ///add additional control here
    }
