   base.ViewDidLoad();
   // Perform any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
  }

  partial void ValueChanged(UIStepper sender)
  {
   stepper.MinimumValue = 0;
   stepper.MaximumValue = 10;
   lblDisplay.Text = stepper.Value.ToString();
  }

  public override void DidReceiveMemoryWarning()
  {
   base.DidReceiveMemoryWarning();
   // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
  }
 }
}

Step 12

Now, go to Run option , choose Debug and the list of iPhone and iPad simulators, which are available. You can choose any one simulator and run it.

Output

After a few seconds, the app will start running on your iPhone simulator.You will see your app working successfully.
