Building UITableViewCells in Interface Builder

Question

I am wonder if it is better to build my cells in Interface Builder, or programmatically? The reason I am leaning toward IB is that my cells are going to have a bit of customization, and it would be much easier this way.

Are their drawbacks to the IB approach? Also, are there any good tutorials about how to use a cell in IB?

Answer 1

Generally you won't run into performance issues, and building cells in IB is more pleasant than by hand if you have a very customized layout.

The Table View Programming Guide has a section on loading cells from nibs.

Answer 2

Here are several guides.
