Question

I am new to XCODE, but I am trying to learn. Basically my project is a rework of Nada Jaksic’s Creating a table-based form on the iPhone”. I would appreciate being informed where I went wrong in my coding, so that I can learn from my mistakes. Any and all help is definitely appreciated!

From the SignupTableViewController.h file:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface SignupTableViewController : UITableViewController<UITextFieldDelegate,   UIActionSheetDelegate>

{


    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellExaminername;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellExamineraddress;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellExaminercity;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellExaminerstate;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellExaminerzip;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellExamineremail;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellSearchthroughdate;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellTitleheldby;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellPropertyaddress1;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellPropertyaddress2;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellPropertycity;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellPropertystate;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellProperyzip;
    IBOutlet UITableViewCell *cellTitlesearchnotes;

Answer 1

Your -validateSignupForm method is missing a closing }.

A hint that this might be true is Xcode’s desire to indent @end.
