initwithstyle:reuseIdentifier: not called

I'm creating my own custom UITableViewCell to use as the backend of a prototype cell. In my class I override the initwithstyle:reuseIdentifier: method to do some custom initialization, but my initializer is not called. I have a break point on the first line inside of it, as well as a break point on dequeueResusableCellWithIdentifier:. The dequeueResusableCellWithIdentifier: method is called, and it returns a initilized cell, but the break point in initwithstyle:reuseIdentifier: is not reached. Any help would be great.

If you are using StoryBoarsd then UITableViewContoller won't call initWithStyle replace it with initWithCoder it will works now

With the storyboard involved, everything changes. This is the method that gets called.

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder {
    if ( !(self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) ) return nil;

    // Your code goes here!

    return self;
}

If your cell is being created from a storyboard prototype (which you have declared as the custom class in IB) then it won't be created with initWithStyle... but initWithCoder: instead, like any other object loaded from a nib. If you have any setup code, it should be in there or in awakeFromNib.
