What you really have to do is create a view and add a subview to it. Make one view the background and give it the frame you want. Then make the second subview the frame you want with the edge insets.

UIView backgroundView = new UIView(CGRect.FromLTRB(0, 0, 100, 100))
{
    BackgroundColor = backgroundGray,
};

//Will have a right edge inset of 10
UIView edgyView = new UIView(CGRect.FromLTRB(0, 0, 90, 100))
{
    BackgroundColor = backgroundGray,
}

backgroundView.AddSubview(edgyView);
