ViewDidLoad method not executing

Question

I'm using Xcode 3.2 and I have a tabbar project with a few tabs and view controllers. I have inserted code into the secondviewcontroller.m in the provided empty ViewDidLoad method but it's not getting executing.
I put a breakpoint on the first line and it never gets there?
Other code in this viewcontroller works fine, awake from nib etc.
Any idea or what to check for?
Thanks!

I don't have a SecondViewController.xib so maybe this is the problem?
Ooh.. Well I assumed you started with the Tab Bar Application template. That template starts you off with two tabs. The view controller for the first tab is of type FirstViewController, and its view is defined in MainWindow.xib. The view controller for the second tab is of type UIViewController, and its view is defined in a separate xib named SecondView.xib.
Your problem seems to be with your xib structure, but this type of problem can take forever to work out in the forum without pictures. Here are some questions that might help us isolate the problem:
1) Which template did you use to start your project?
2) If you started with the Tab Bar app template, do you remember at what point you removed SecondView.xib?
3) Can you describe, step-by-step what you did in MainWindow.xib to create the structure you have now?
4) Can you post a screen shot of MainWindow.xib on a web site for us to see?
5) If yes to 4, please set the View Mode switch to the center position and expand all the tree nodes in your screen shot.
6) If no to 4, please try to describe the two columns of that file in your post. It will be important to show the level of indentation when describing the tree. You can do that by just starting each line with a number, e.g. 1 for top level, 2 for one indent, etc.
7) For each of your 5 view controllers, please select the view controller in the icon tree and bring up the Attributes Inspector. Any view controller which requires a separate xib will have the name of the xib file in the NIB Name picker field of the Attributes Inspector. If that field is not blank for any of your controllers, let us know.
