Hello All,

I have developed a core data model for my application. I need to display the saved data into a table view. For my app I have selected split view controller. I am writing down my codes below. Please help me in this regard and write me the code that needs to be added. This is very important as my continuation in my company depends on this.

#import "RootViewController.h"
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#import "AddViewController.h"
#import "EmployeeDetailsAppDelegate.h"

/*
 This template does not ensure user interface consistency during editing operations in the table view. You must implement appropriate methods to provide the user experience you require.
 */

@interface RootViewController ()
- (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
@end



@implementation RootViewController

@synthesize detailViewController, fetchedResultsController, managedObjectContext, results, empName;

    results = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
    [results setObject:empName.text forKey:@"EmployeeName"];

}
