Dynamically load nib for iPhone/iPad within view controller

Question

I have converted an iPhone application using the wizard like thing in XCode into a universal app.

It builds fine but obviously looks a bit rubbish in some areas :)<

You can have your cake and eat it too. Just add a method that wraps initWithNibName:bundle: and adds your myLovelyData parameter:

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil  myLovelyData:(id)data
{
    if ((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) 
    {
        // Custom initialization using myLovelyData
        //
    }
    return self;
}
