Assume that you have a viewController and a xib file which has a UILabel on this. The steps to connection the UiLabel (also the xib file) your viewController are:

1) In the header file, create UiLabel object and property for it

IBOutlet UILabel *label;

@Property (Nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *label;

and synchthesize it in implement file

2) Open your xib file in Interface Builder

Double click on "File's Owner" then select the viewController in dropdownlist of pop-up windows to connect your xib file to controller

3) right-click on file's owner, on the pop-up dialog:

• point and drag the plush (+) next to "View" and drop it on View row
• point and drag the plush (+) next to "label" and drop it on the label on the view

=> now the label and the view on xib file is connected to you controller
