IBOutlet Label does not get data

Question

Hi I am newbie in StackOverFlow and iOS 6..

It will be so simple for experienced developer..

in .h file..

@interface NotKnownDetailView : UITableViewController
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *wordLabel;
@end

in .m file..

@interface NotKnownDetailView ()
    - (void)configureView;
@end

@implementation NotKnownDetailView
@synthesize  wordLabel = _wordLabel ;

- (void)configureView{

    wordData *theSighting = self.word_data;

    if (theSighting) {

        UIAlertView *message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Hello World!"
                                                          message:theSighting.verbal
                                                         delegate:nil
                                                cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                                otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [message show];

        self.wordLabel.text = theSighting.word;

        UIAlertView *message2 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Hello World!"
                                                          message: self.verbalLabel.text
                                                         delegate:nil
                                                cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                                otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [message2 show];

    }
}

Problem is as follows..

self.wordLabel.text = theSighting.word;

In spite of theSighting.word has data, but self.wordLabel.text does not contain any data...

Absolutely I connected the IBOutlet in storyboard.

What is wrong above?.

Edited. I add some part of source. I hope you are not uncomfortable with this.

    }

}

SOLED.

I think you are calling -(void)configureView before -(void)viewDidLoad, in which case wordLabel is nil when you are trying to assign anything to it.

Try calling -(void)configureView inside -(void)viewDidLoad

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [self configureView];
}
