How to set NSTextView text in Xamarin Mac?

Question

OK, from the department “I never expected this to be the hard part”: how to set NSTextField text on a Xamarin Mac?

  NSTextView view = new NSTextView(new RectangleF(0, 500, 200, 40));
  view.StringValue = "Foo";

not compiled (no "StringValue" method). Also not setStringValue ("Foo"). Also, there is no SetText method. There is an InsertText method, but it does not accept a C # string; he wants an NSObject (which makes me think that it is not intended for direct use).

Note that if I use NSTextField instead of NSTextView, I can assign StringValue just fine. But with NSTextField the same code does not work.

I have experience programming ObjC on iOS, but pretty much noob for Cocoa Mac and Xamarin Mac. Therefore, I am sure that I am missing some obvious answer, but my search engine did not find an answer (and the Xamarin forums do not work today). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the Value property?
