Help with View switching in Xcode using storyboards

I made a log-in screen that once you press the button to log-in and it authenticates the user name and password. What I want to do it switch to a different view after the authentication is completed. I am usign a storyboard for this application adn I have set it up so that the log-in button does a modal seque but it doesn't switch the view. I tested this with a sample button and all it does it switch the view back to the same view and refreshes the view. What do I need to add in order for my funtion to switch from my ViewController View (the main view) to the next view (RootViewController). I have a navigationController and an object created fromt he ViewController class but I don't know how to use them in order to switch views.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I can provide more information or sample code if needed.


I am so confused when it comes to view switching...

Thanks in advance!

 

How do I embed it in a navigiation controller? Do you mean through the storyboard or through code in the view controller? Does the ctrl+drag work if you already have your button doing various other functions that need to execute before the view switches?

 

I embeded the main view to the navigation controller and it didn't change anything. I was thinking of trying this function but it gives me an error saying:

Code:

[UIStoryboardModalSegue rootViewController]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

Here is my function:

Code:

-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"Enter"]) 
    { 
        // Get reference to the destination view controller 
      EDIT://  ViewController *vc = [segue rootViewController]; 
        
   
    } 

}

And the function call:

Code:

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"Enter" sender:self]; 

Am I missing something? Or am I doing this wrong? I feel like I am so close...

EDIT:
I got rid of the code withing the prepare function which got rid of the error and all it does is loop back into the same view. In the storyboard I have my main view linked to the next view with the identifier "Enter" but I still get send back to the same view.

EDIT:

Problem was fixed when I created a new file and redid my views. I guess the first storyboard was buggy. Thanks to everyone who replied.
