Question

I’m trying to set a variable in another view.

I’m in a view which I have named ProgramViewController and from here I would like to set a variable named bands in MyViewController.

I thought it would be as simple as

MyViewController *myViewController = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
myViewController.bands = @"hello world";
[myViewController release];

And in the header of MyViewController:

@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate> {
    NSString *bands;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *bands;

That does not work, though.

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

EDIT:
I synthesize bands in MyViewController:

@synthesize pageNumberLabel, tableProgram, bands;

But when trying to print it with NSLog in the viewDidLoad of MyViewController I get (null)

NSLog(@"%@", bands);

Answer 1

I solved this in another way. I managed to load the data in MyViewController instead. I was dealing with a page controller and had to populate a UITableView but had troubles loading the data.

This is solved in a completely other way now.
