IOS: Not able to access my label in UICell - ios

Question

I am trying to create a table with prototype cell
for that i had taken a tableview and inserted a cell in table view
and in cell i had taken a label in which i want to set values from my Employee class.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
RWTCell *cell = (RWTCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"employeeeCell"];
if (!cell){
cell = [[RWTCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"employeeeCell"];
}
Employee *currentEmp=[employeeArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#" %#",currentEmp.empName);
cell.lName.text=currentEmp.empName;
// cell.textLabel.text = currentEmp.empName;
return cell;
}
Above is my code
when i try to do
RWTCell *cell = (RWTCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"employeeeCell"];
it always gives me null, and this line below never works
cell.lName.text=currentEmp.empName;
my Employee.m class
#import "Employee.h"
#implementation Employee
#synthesize empDepart,empDoj,empDob,empName,empSalary,empGender;
#end
and Employee.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface Employee : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *empName;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *empSalary;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *empDob;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *empDoj;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *empGender;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *empDepart;
#end
EDIT
sorry i forgot to mention my cell class
and i am working on storyboard
#import "RWTCell.h"
#implementation RWTCell
#synthesize lName;
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
}
return self;
}
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
#end
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface RWTCell : UITableViewCell
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lName;
#end

Take a look at the custom cell I am using in my application.
.h file of custom cell
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface EvalHistoryCell : UITableViewCell
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblEvaluator;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblDate;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblStore;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblStatus;
#end
.m file of custom cell
#import "EvalHistoryCell.h"
#implementation EvalHistoryCell
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
}
return self;
}
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
#end
in main viewcontroller where you want to use it:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *strEvalIdentifier = #"HistoryIdentifier";
EvaluationListEntity *objEvalEntity=[arrmEvalList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
EvalHistoryCell *cell = (EvalHistoryCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:strEvalIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"EvalHistoryCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
cell.lblEvaluator.text=objEvalEntity.strEvaluatorName;
return cell;
}
Try this.

Make sure you connected your custom cell with your view at RWTCell.xib
At your .h file
#property(nonatomic,strong) RWTCell *rwtcell;
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *MyIdentifier= #"MyIdentifier";
RWTCell *cell = (RWTCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
if(cell==nil)
{
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"RWTCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell=self.rwtcell;
}
Employee *currentEmp=[employeeArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#" %#",currentEmp.empName);
cell.lName.text=currentEmp.empName;
return cell;
}
Hope it helps you..
