A long while back, i wrote an article on Reflection.  C# to Objective-C - Part 6 : Reflection And the code in that article still holds true. As you know, reflection is really expensive but sometimes a necessary evil. However, its especially expe...

So, you've got some data, and you want to store it in an array. Now lets say this data is just a bunch of numbers. In iOS, you could store it in an NSArray, however that requires boxing/unboxing, by wrapping the data in an NSNumber.

But hey, boxing...

This is a bit more of an special use case topic, but something I wanted to accomplish a while ago, and I thought I'd share it for anyone else trying to solve a similar problem. 

I wanted to have a more generic way of Drawing Arcs, instead of using...

In the world of App Development, performance is always a concern. Today, i'm going to show you how you can easily add performance to your application for custom drawing.

If you've ever used the CoreGraphics API's, then you probably know that the...

The response to the IGCalendarView has pretty awesome. And we've gotten a lot of feedback. 
While we weren't able to get to all of the feature requests yet, we didn't want to leave you hanging. Along with some work on performance improvement, we've...

Even if you're an IGGridView pro, you might not have known about the Stretch Row feature, although if you've used our Samples Browser, you've seen it and used it plenty of times. 

Stretch Rows are basically exactly what they sounds like. Essentially...

So the IGGridView is all about creating custom cells to display whatever you'd like. But did you know that you don't have to constantly check to see if a cell is available to be dequeued or then create. Instead you can always expect your cell to exist...

iOS has control called the UIPickerView. It used to be pretty ugly, but in iOS 7 they made it look a lot nicer. However, it still has it's limitations. You can't set a height on it, and its still kind of cumbersome to setup and style. 

Well,...

Did you know that the IGGridView derives directly from UIScrollView? Because of this, you actually have a lot of power. In fact, the IGGridView turns on one of the settings of the UIScrollView, and you might not even realize it. 

By default, the IGGridView...

If you're using the IGGridViewDataSourceHelper classes you may know that you can use it to sort the data in your IGGridView. However, we don't currently offer a built in interaction to do the sorting for your user. 

Because of the pure flexibility...

The IGGridView is really powerful. Like the native UITableView that comes standard in iOS, it has a datasource protocol, that allows you to specify how many rows and sections you're displaying along with the ability to actually create the cell that will...

The IGGaugeView is one of our most customizable controls. You can control the placement of pretty much anything that it draws within it. However, you may want to display some custom content on top of the gauge, for specific values. 

Turns out, like everything...

I was one of apparently many people that waited up till 3am(i'm on the East coast) to pre-order the new iPhone 6+. I had trouble deciding which size to go with, but being a developer, i decided to go with the 6+ because it would offer me more opportunities...

Today's iOS device landscape is much different than it was a year ago. As developers we need to start making our apps more dynamic. We can longer be content with having checks to see if a device is an iPhone vs an iPad and expect certain sizes based on...

I've had a few people ask me about what parts are which on the IGGaugeView. So today i'm putting together a diagram that breaks out each of the individual pieces of the gauge so that you can easily style it however you like.  If you were...

When writing an app, you sometimes comes across situations where you need to adjust the position and size of a label based on the size of the text. And that size could be different based on a particular font you're using. So, today i'm going to show you...

In iOS 6, Apple introduced the NSMutableAttributedString class. Along with it, all of their UIViews which previously exposed a text property, now expose an "attributedText" property.  Recently I was working on an App, where the design...

Yes, this may be an edge case, but it is a problem that you may run into one day. For example, say you're writing an App that requires you to accept any sort of random json or xml. While you could just consume them in dictionary format, it maybe not actually...

Given a UIImage, in some cases you may want to have the image split. For example, say you wanted to create a Flipboard or Paper like interface, where you have a screen shot of a UIVIew, and you want to have the appearance of it folding. 

To do this you...
