Is it possible to have multiple classes (be it UITableViewCell or UIViewController) share a single xib in Xamarin.iOS?

I have an xib which is already associated with a class. When I created a UITableViewCell in my xamarin ios project it generated an xib along with it. Now I need to create another UITableViewCell, where I want to reuse the already existing xib. Is it possible? When I tried extending the already existing TableCell am always getting a cast exception in my project. It would be helpful if I could get this cast exception sorted out or get the existing xib to work with my new class.

    A xib can only has one corresponding class. And as this docs said ,Working with .xib files is not currently supported in Xamarin.iOS for Visual Studio.

    Apple recommended developer to use storyboard instead of xib.Here is a video guide use native iOS.You can refer to it.
