How to set the height in the code of the UITextView created with Xcode storyboard

I can not set the height while running of the UITextView object in Xcode for iPhone (Version 4.6 (4H127). I have used MainStoryboard_iPhone.storyboard to create the UITextView.

I have tried this, which makes no effect:

UITextView *textMultiLine1;
[textMultiLine1 setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 320)];

Thanks for answering, I am a very beginner in Xcode.

You first need to create an Outlet in you header file:

IBOutlet UITextView *textMultiLine1;

Then you need to connect it in the StoryBoard:

enter image description here

Then you must set it's frame:

textMultiline1.frame = CGRectMake(originX, originY, width, height);

Or, if you want to change only it's height:

float newHeight = 200.0;

CGRect textViewFrame = textMultiline1.frame;
textMultiline1.frame = CGRectMake(textViewFrame.origin.x, textViewFrame.origin.y, textViewFrame.size.width, newHeight);

Setting the content size will only change the inner TextView area, resulting in a longer (or shorter, depending on the values you set) scroll
