Passing variables between view controllers

Question

I am using this function to switch between views in Xcode 4.3.

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"NextView" sender:self];

I would like to pass some parameters between pages. How can I do that?

This question has a very nice and correct explanation of passing data between view controllers:

Answer 2

After performSegueWithIdentifier:sender: your view controler will call

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender

assuming your new view controller has some propertys to set:

if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"NextView"]) {
    MyViewController *myVC = [segue destinationViewController];
    myVC.propertyToSet = // set your properties here
}
