hello,

I'm working on a program using a TableView. I want the datasource method for the TableView to return a value with formatting depending on which column the data is for. So i have the line of code

if ( [aTableColumn == @"aString" ) {
....
}

but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Not sure if this is the problem, but...

Typically it's best to compare NSStrings (and other objects) using isEqual:

if ([string isEqual:@"aString"]) { ...

Pointer equality (==) will only work when the two objects are exactly the same. isEqual: will allow objects to do other sorts of equality testing.
