Question

First, let me say that I’m pretty new to Objective-C and iOS programming in general so forgive me if the answer for this is obvious to you guys.

So I’m now going through the Apress Beginning iOS 5 book and in Chapter 10 about Storyboards, I encounter the following problem when trying to Run one of the examples.

As I understand it, this block of code is supposed to pass the text of a task from a list to a text input field on the next page. Here’s the code exactly from the book, but I get this error when trying to Build and Run the code: Property ‘tableView’ not found on object of type ‘BIDTaskListController *’.

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender 
{ 
    UIViewController *destination = segue.destinationViewController;

    if ([destination respondsToSelector:@selector(setDelegate:)]) { 
        [destination setValue:self forKey:@"delegate"];
    }

    if ([destination respondsToSelector:@selector(setSelection:)]) {
        // prepare selection info
        NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:sender]; // Error on this line
        id object = [self.tasks objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        NSDictionary *selection = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                  indexPath, @"indexPath", 
                                  object, @"object",
                                  nil];
        [destination setValue:selection forKey:@"selection"]; 
    }
}

Also, I’m running Xcode 4.4 by the way. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You have to put this code inside UITableViewController, propable you’re using UIViewController, so you don’t have reference to tableview or you can add UITableView to your UIViewController and connect IBOutlet to it.
