Monotouch: Understand Foundation Attributes

Could you explain me the following attributes?

1) [MonoTouch.Foundation.Register("SomeClass")]

Is this attribute is used only for register classes with IB? Do I have to use this class when I extend an iOS class programatically?

2) [Export("initSomething")]

When do I have to use this attribute? For selector, ok. Anything else?

Thanks you in advance.

The attribute on a class exposes the class to the Objective-C world. You need that if you want to call methods in that class. The name passed to register will be the name that the Objective-C world uses for your class.

Export is used to expose a single method or property to that world.
