I'm new to MonoTouch and I've recently been converting code from standard C# to MonoTouch compliant code so it can be used within an iPhone application. I've managed to convert the code, however I've run into a problem with this method which I use to return a bitmap context:
private CGBitmapContext ExtractWriteableBitmap( RGBPaletteRecord rgbPalette, double dpi, ChartIndexFile indexFile, RasterChartFile chartFile )
{
CGBitmapContext bitmapImage = null;
TileRecord tile;
// calc the number of tiles in each plane
int tileCountX = indexFile.TileIndexRecords.Max(ti => ti.X);
int tileCountY = indexFile.TileIndexRecords.Max(ti => ti.Y);
// create the big picture
int pixelWidth = (tileCountX + 1) * TileRecord.PixelWidth;
int pixelHeight = (tileCountY + 1) * TileRecord.PixelHight;
int intDPI = Convert.ToInt32(dpi);
int bytesPerRow = (int)TileRecord.PixelWidth * 4; // note that bytes per row should
//be based on width, not height.
CGColorSpace colorSpace = CGColorSpace.CreateDeviceRGB();
CGImageAlphaInfo info = CGImageAlphaInfo.NoneSkipFirst;
// create the big picture
bitmapImage = new CGBitmapContext(System.IntPtr.Zero, pixelWidth, pixelHeight, intDPI, intDPI, colorSpace, info);
byte[] sourceArray;
RectangleF sourceRect;
//copy the tiles into the big picture
int index = 0;
foreach (TileIndexRecord tileIndexRecord in indexFile.TileIndexRecords)
{
// get the tile record
tile = chartFile.TileRecords[index];
// extract the byte array for the given palette
sourceArray = tile.GetBytes(rgbPalette);
GCHandle pinnedArray = GCHandle.Alloc(sourceArray, GCHandleType.Pinned);
IntPtr pointer = pinnedArray.AddrOfPinnedObject();
//do your stuff
//pinnedArray.Free();
CGImage image = new CGImage(pointer);
sourceRect = new RectangleF(0, 0, TileRecord.PixelWidth, TileRecord.PixelHight);
bitmapImage.DrawImage(new RectangleF(0,0,128,128),image);
// copy the tile image into the big picture
//bitmapImage.WritePixels(sourceRect, sourceArray, TileRecord.Stride, (tileIndexRecord.X * TileRecord.PixelWidth), (tileIndexRecord.Y * TileRecord.PixelHight));
// increment the index
index++;
}
return bitmapImage;
}
Here is the stack trace:

The error occurs at the line:

bitmapImage = new CGBitmapContext(System.IntPtr.Zero, pixelWidth, pixelHeight, intDPI, intDPI, colorSpace, info);
I'm very new to MonoTouch so try and bear with me if its glaringly obvious but can anyone explain whats going on?
