Approaching a Xamarin.Android Bindings Case

1. Investigation

One of the best ways to investigate a problematic Xamarin.Android Binding is to first ensure you have the proper tooling available:

• Diagnostic MSBuild Output Enabled(Instructions)
• Java Decompiler(http://jd.benow.ca/)
• .NET Decompiler(https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/)
• Binding SDK Documentation

Install ASP.NET MVC 5 on Mono, Mac OSX, apache with mod_mono

Install mono MDK

• NOTE: no x64 package is available (unless you want to install from source), so I installed the x86 version

• Install mono MDK from:

http://www.mono-project.com/download/

I used 3.10.0, which corresponds to .NET 4.5

  /*
     * Given an enum, construct a map where the keys are the enum items
     * and the values are string descriptions of each item. Example:
     *
     * {TheFirst, "The First"},
     * {TheSecond, "The Second"},
     * {AndTheLast, "And The Last"},
     *
     * Thus each enum item is converted to text and split at each capital letter.
