Explicitly disabling UIView animation in iOS4+

Question

I have been reading that Apple recommends to use block-based animations instead of CATransaction

Before, I was using this code to disable animations:

Answer 1

For MonoTouch (C#) users, here is a helper class:

public class UIViewAnimations : IDisposable
{
    public UIViewAnimations(bool enabled)
    {
        _wasEnabled = UIView.AnimationsEnabled;
        UIView.AnimationsEnabled = enabled;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        UIView.AnimationsEnabled = _wasEnabled;
    }

    bool _wasEnabled;
}

Example:

using (new UIViewAnimations(false))
    imageView.Frame = GetImageFrame();
