working of OnConfigurationChanged() in MonoDroid

Question

I'm new to android development and I've been working on android through java(eclipse) till now but now I'm switching to Mono for Android which uses C#.

In java on orientation changed, I've used following code snippet :

@Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

        if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
             Toast.makeText(this, "landscape", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        } else{
             Toast.makeText(this, "portrait", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

When trying to do the same in C# in Mono for Android, I tried this

 public override void OnConfigurationChanged(Android.Content.Res.Configuration newConfig)
        {
            base.OnConfigurationChanged (newConfig);
            if (newConfig.Orientation == Android.Content.Res.Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)  
            {
                Toast.MakeText(this, "landscape",ToastLength.Long).Show();
            } 
            else /* if (orientation == 0) */
            {
                Toast.MakeText(this, "portrait", ToastLength.Long).Show();
            }
        }

but Android.Content.Res.Configuration doesn't have any attribute with value 'ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE` when I try to use following statement

if (newConfig.Orientation == Android.Content.Res.Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)

What might be the solution? Any other option available?

Any help appreciated !

You must use:

Android.Content.Res.Orientation.Landscape

API reference - enum

API refenence - Configuration
