How to connect a button and collectionview in tvos application? - xamarin

I am trying to connect a Button and Collectionview in my tvos application (Xamarin - Visual Studio Mac). I need to show the collectionview when tap the button.
I am following this blog for the implementation of collectionview in my project. The 6th step on this blog tells how to connect the Button and collectionview , Control-drag from the Button to the Collection View Controller and select Push from the popup:
Screenshot
I tried a lot by dragging the Button to Collectionview, but there is no popup and they are not getting connected. I am a beginner on tv os application development. So anybody please explain this mechanism? If provide a gif file, it will be easy. :)

Focus on the button and click the Control on the keyboard at same time .
Move the mouse from the button to the CollectionViewControl .
Now the popup will display.

How do I add code behind a button in a Detail view Controller of a the Storyboard in a Visual Studio Xamarin.IOS project?

I want a button to update a text field in my app, which runs on an iPad.
I created a Xamarin.IOS master details project, and added a button and textfield.
But can't find out to add the code behind that executes when button clicked.
In Visual Basic, I could just double-click the button and the event handling function (code behind) pops up. Can't figure out how to do this in XAMARIN.
After you add a button or a textfield to the storyboard, you can select the button in the storyboard and then you can give it a name in the properties(right corner of visual studio), you can see the screenshot here:
Then, you can access the button or textField in code behind and add click event for them.

In the Picker Toolbar you can set UIBarButtonItem to add Done button. Then you can add a Click Event for the Done button and write following code in it.
YourPicker.RemoveFromSuperview();
YourPickerView.RemoveFromSuperview();

Xamarin pop up with default close button in Xamarin form pcl

Can anyone suggest a best method to show pop up with close button by default in Xamarin forms with animations. To be more specific, if we are clicking on a card, it should come from the location of tap or click.
I have used xlabs for the same. Is there any other packages that I can use?
Could you share a sample code if possible?

How to Re-Establish Clicked Events?

How do I re-establish the clicked event of a Xamarin Forms button?
The button was made invisible and it's footprint covered by a popup listview. The listview was subsequently removed, but the button does not respond. Other buttons on the page do.
This only happens on the iOS version of the page.

xcode can't link UIButton to action

Learning Xcode and making a simple app. A "contact" button takes to a subview. Here buttons for Phone, email, UrL for a website.
Storyboard and assistant editor are side by side.
If button is on the first main controller no problem.
But on the subview it wont let me connect a button to a method.
Not sure if there is a simple answer to this.
thanks
