How to detect if iPhone is in silent mode in MonoTouch

Question

I have found the answer for objective-c, but couldn't figure out how to translate it to c# for monotouch.

Also, I couldn't find anything in the Xamarian tutorial or reference.

Could someone please give an example of how to do it?

The summary of those answers is "there were some hacks in old versions of iOS, but they don't work anymore, and were never intended to work in the first place". So why do you try to port broken code to monotouch? Looks like you should find some working objective-c code first. — CodesInChaos, Aug 01 '12 at 12:15
my app is based on the sound. so i have to detect if the mute button is on so i could throw some message to the user. — vovacooper, Aug 01 '12 at 12:19

I don't think this is possible (since iOS 5), see here:

In general, Apple doesn't allow access to things like this.
