Answer 1

It sounds like MyPickerView is a UIView subclass. initWithNibName:bundle is not a method that exists on UIView subclasses. It is a method that exists on UIViewController subclasses. That is what the error message means.

Answer 2

unrecognized selector sent to instance suggests that MyPickerView's superclass doesn't know what initWithNibName:bundle is, which is because UIView doesn't know that method (it exists in UIViewController).

Answer 3

Right way to do this would be something like this

UIView *dpView;
NSArray *nibViews;
nibViews =  [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"DatePickerSliderViewNew" owner:self options:nil];
dpView = [ nibViews objectAtIndex: 0];
int outside = CGRectGetMaxY(self.view.bounds);
dpView.frame = CGRectMake(0, outside, 320, 260);
[self.view addSubview:dpView];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
dpView.frame = CGRectMake(0, outside - 260, 320, 260);
[UIView commitAnimations];
