How to make a UIView with optional rounded corners and border?

Question

I am applying corner radius to a UIView i.e. UIRectCornerTopLeft and UIRectCornerTopRight. When I apply this, the border is gone at t

Found this piece of code. Have not actually tried it, but seems like it is what you need.

- (void)drawDashedBorderAroundView:(UIView *)v {

    //border definitions
    CGFloat cornerRadius = 10;
    CGFloat borderWidth = 2;
    NSInteger dashPattern1 = 8;
    NSInteger dashPattern2 = 8;
    UIColor *lineColor = [UIColor orangeColor];

    //drawing
    CGRect frame = v.bounds;

    CAShapeLayer *_shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];

    //creating a path
    CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();

    //drawing a border around a view
    CGPathMoveToPoint(path, NULL, 0, frame.size.height - cornerRadius);
    CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, 0, cornerRadius);
    CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, M_PI, -M_PI_2, NO);
    CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, frame.size.width - cornerRadius, 0);
    CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, frame.size.width - cornerRadius, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, -M_PI_2, 0, NO);
    CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, frame.size.width, frame.size.height - cornerRadius);
    CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, frame.size.width - cornerRadius, frame.size.height - cornerRadius, cornerRadius, 0, M_PI_2, NO);
    CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, cornerRadius, frame.size.height);
    CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, cornerRadius, frame.size.height - cornerRadius, cornerRadius, M_PI_2, M_PI, NO);

    //path is set as the _shapeLayer object's path
    _shapeLayer.path = path;
    CGPathRelease(path);

    _shapeLayer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
    _shapeLayer.frame = frame;
    _shapeLayer.masksToBounds = NO;
    [_shapeLayer setValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO] forKey:@"isCircle"];
    _shapeLayer.fillColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
    _shapeLayer.strokeColor = [lineColor CGColor];
    _shapeLayer.lineWidth = borderWidth;
    _shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:dashPattern1], [NSNumber numberWithInt:dashPattern2], nil];
    _shapeLayer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound;

    //_shapeLayer is added as a sublayer of the view, the border is visible
    [v.layer addSublayer:_shapeLayer];
    v.layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius;
}

This piece of code adds a dashed line, but you can modify that by _shapeLayer.lineDashPattern.
