iOS Build a Playlist Browser with Swift Using a Navigation Controller With Segues Modifying the UI

Undeclared type "PlaylistDetailViewController"

Hi, I got a problem, I follow Pasan Premaratne step by step doing... but still something wrong with my code, could you please help me, Thanks~ here is code.

import UIKit

class PlaylistMasterViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var aButton: UIButton!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        aButton.setTitle("Press me!", forState: .Normal)
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
        if segue.identifier == "showPlaylistDetail" {
            let playlistDetailController = segue.destinationViewController as! PlaylistDetailViewController   // error said: Undeclared type "PlaylistDetailViewController"
            playlistDetailController.buttonPressLabel.text = "Yay! You Pressed the button"
        }
    }
}



import UIKit

class PlaylistDetailViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var buttonPressLabel: UILabel!

    var segueLabelText: String = ""

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        buttonPressLabel.text = segueLabelText
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
}

A few things I would check based on what you have provided here 1) make sure you have named you segue identifier "showPlaylistDetail" without the quotes 2) Be sure you have set the class of the detail view on the Main story identity inspector to PlaylistDetailViewController

please confirm that you have done those two steps

Your code looks pretty good. Maybe try replacing: playlistDetailController.buttonPressLabel.text = "Yay! You Pressed the button" with: playlistDetailController.segueLabelText = "Yay! You pressed the button"
