Inheriting from uitableviewcontroller crashes app

Question

I dragged a view controller into my app then created a new view and made it segue to that view. I created a class for that view and made it inherit from uitableviewcontroller but when I segue to that view the app crashes terminating with uncaught exception of type nsexception. Is this because the view is not a table view controller? Or am I missing something else? Thanks.

What do you mean, "embedded it in another view"? How did you do that? — rdelmar
You should drag a new UITableViewController if you want that in storyboard instead of UIViewController. If you inherit from UITableViewController, make sure you have base view as UITableView and have delegate and datasource connected. — gagarwal

I bet it crashes because the tableViewController expects its root view to be a tableview and you embedded the tableview in another view
