I have a situation where I build a view with a table and another view for table header (containing images and labels and buttons). Now I connected the table, image, labels, buttons to variables in my Controller class. Should I release the memory in -dealloc method for all those variables that I connected using Interface Builder? I believe memory is automatically allocated for these variables?

The answer is best provided by Apple's Memory Management of Nib Objects document. If your code "owns" the NIB (i.e. you called +[NSBundle loadNibNamed: foo owner: bar]) then your code needs to destroy the NIB resources.

Key sentence: "Objects in the nib file are created with a retain count of 1 and then autoreleased."

I knew it, i knew it, i knew it, but i still posted the question. I'm so frustrated right now. Actually i'm getting *EXC_BAD_ACCESS* error, and when i try to run the application with Instruments it doesn't show me any error. :( The error doesn't appear when i remove the release statements of objects in nib (specifically the table object).
I'll trace it some more and then post the issue if i'm still stuck. Thanks for you help.
