Xamarin Storyboard Editor TableView Issues

I am having some issues with the StoryBoard Editor on the Mac version of Xamarin Studio.

I am trying to set the TableView to a Custom Class that extends UITableView. Below is a code snippit showing that my class is extending UITableView

[Register ("**********TableView")]
    public class **********TableView : UITableView

The code builds fine, but the issue is that the TableView associated with my controller is always null. Below is the code generated in the *.designer.cs file

*********TableView TableView { get; set; }

Therefore, my ViewController has no reference to the TableView and the TableView has no reference to the ViewController. This is a major issue.

If I had to guess, I would think that this is an issue with Xamarin Studio itself.

If anyone has experienced something similar, and found some workaround, or can see something that I am not seeing let me know.

P.S. My Classes do not actually start with ******** just for privacy.
