static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"TableCell";
TableCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier
forIndexPath:indexPath];
// Configure the cell...

Answer 1

You can directly set the identifier using the storyboard like this.

Answer 2

From the documentation:
Important: You must register a class or nib file using the
registerNib:forCellReuseIdentifier: or
registerClass:forCellReuseIdentifier: method before calling this
method.
You need to register the cell as a usable class for that identifier. Call this after you initialize your UITableView (probably in viewDidLoad)
[self.tableView registerClass:[TableCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier]
This assumes CellIdentifier has been moved somewhere where it can be accessed from here.

Answer 3

Try this:
-(UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"TableCell";
TableCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(!cell)
{
cell = [[[TableCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
// Configure the cell...
int row = [indexPath row];
Books *book = [myBooks objectAtIndex:row];
cell.bookName.text = book.bookName;
return cell;
}
