ViewDidLoad not being called with my custom UIViewController

Question

I have created a custom UIViewController class that creates a ScrollView at runtime that it loads into the view. See code here in the constructor of my custom UIViewController.

        initControl(id, canEdit);

        _controllers = new NSMutableArray(0); //required to keep view controllers around

        _scrollView = new UIScrollView();
        _scrollView.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Green;
        this.View = _scrollView;

ViewDidAppear and ViewWillAppear are called normally.

ViewDidLoad is not called which I am not sure why as the view is showing up on the screen just fine.

Any ideas?

The viewDidLoad method is being called when accessing self.view

Examples:

1)

- (id) init {
      self = [super init];
      if (self)
      {
          ...
          [self.view addSubview: self.toolbar];
      }
 }

2)

viewContrl = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
viewContrl.view = webTopView;

3)

viewContrl = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
[viewContrl.view addSubview: webTopView];
