How to reference tableView from a view controller during a segue

Question

I\'m new to iOS development, so go easy on me please :)

Using Xcode 4.2 for iOS 5, I\'ve built a view controller in IB, with a tableview inside it linked to a detail

I'm also new to iOS, but for what it's worth:

Sounds like you need to create a pointer to your table view object in your UIViewControllerClass.

@interface YourClass : UIViewController
{
    IBOutlet UITableView  *MyTableView;
}
@property ... IBOutlet UITableView *MyTableView;

...and then hook this up to your "table view" within IB. Such that in prepareForSegue you can then access the UITableView object.

-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    NSIndexPath *selectedIndexPath = [self.MyTableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
    ...
}
