Set different row height in different sections (storyboard)

Question

I have a tableview with multiple prototype cells that i designed in the storyboard, but i´m stuck with the height problem because my first cell is supose to be different from the second one and so on...I have different identifiers for each cell, and because i designed them in storyboard, i know they´re height´s. I have this in my code, but it´s not working, does anyone knows how to fix it?:

-(CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]init];
switch (indexPath.section) 

{
    case 1:

        cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cell1"];
        return 743.0f; 

        break;

    case 2:

        cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cell2"];
        return 300.0f;



}

}

Thanks for your time.

It looks like you are trying to use this method for purposes it wasn't designed for... you'll want to override the method:

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    switch (indexPath.section)
        case 1:
           static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"cell1";
           break;
        case 2:
           static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"cell2";
           break;

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

    // Configure the cell...
    return cell;
}

Only change the row height in the heightForRowAtIndexPath:

-(CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

switch (indexPath.section) 

{
    case 1:

        return 743.0f; 

        break; //technically never used

    case 2:

        return 300.0f;



}
