IB builder or programmatically draw?

Question

What do you advise? should I programmatically draw my textfields, labels, images or should I use IB?

Would it make any difference? I have scrolling issues (bit jerky) but not something I cannot live without!

Answer 1

ok. problem solved. you were right and wrong regarding the IB...

to explain myself:

I was loading my cell from a nib file.

The trick and thanks goes to this site: http://iphoneincubator.com/blog/tag/dequeuereusablecellwithidentifier

i forgot to set my cell identifier to the nib file so i was creating the cells every time they were scrolled off the screen!

so tip!

When you load from nib ALWAYS put the right identifier in the "identifier" place!!!

thanks to nolimitsdude who actually pointed to the right way!!

I would use IB to help maintain the app. Jerky performance is usually a result to memory management issues and not specific to IB. IB just does the object creation and sets common properties, so do it in code, or in IB the end result is the creation of objects and setting of properties.
