Content in UITableViewCell is not showing

Question

I am having trouble with a UITableViewCell.

I have a view controller in my storyboard that is connected to my view controller called MainViewController. It Contains a UITableViewCell with 3 labels. The UITableViewCell is connected to the class MTTableViewCell.

// MTTableViewCell.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface MTTableViewCell : UITableViewCell
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *mainLabel;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *statusLabel;

@end

// MTTableViewCell.m

#import "MTTableViewCell.h"

@implementation MTTableViewCell

- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier {
    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    // Configure the view for the selected state
}

@end

// MainViewController.m

-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    return 1;        
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    MTTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[MTTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
    }        

    NSString *namecell = @"namecell";
    NSString *statuscell = @"statuscell";           
    [cell.mainLabel setText:namecell];
    [cell.statusLabel setText:statuscell];        

    return cell;
}

The problem is that nothing is shown when I run the MainViewController. What am I missing? I am not getting any arrors, just an empty tableview with 1 blank record.

Look in your interface builder - you shuld have not "conntected" your custom cell, you should set it as a "files owner" since you implemented the view, not want to set a delegate. Maybe this hint helps?
