didSelectRowAtIndexPath throws exception

This is probably some simple mistake, I just can't seem to find it in my code.

When ever I click a cell in my tableview I get an exception

This is my interface:

@interface MenuViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>

@end

I don't use XIB files so this is my loadView

- (void)loadView
{
    UIView *myview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    self.title = @"Menu";
    UITableView *tableViewMenuItems = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 300, 150) style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
    tableViewMenuItems.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    tableViewMenuItems.delegate = self;
    tableViewMenuItems.dataSource = self;
    tableViewMenuItems.scrollEnabled = NO;
    [myview addSubview:tableViewMenuItems];
    [tableViewMenuItems release];
    self.view = myview;
    [myview release];
}

And this is the delegate method for selecting a row

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    SendMessageViewController *sendMessageViewController = [[SendMessageViewController alloc] init];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:sendMessageViewController animated:YES];
    [sendMessageViewController release];
}

And my bt

What am I doing wrong?

Look at this line

-[NSObject(NSObject) doesNotRecognizeSelector:] ()

it clearly says that you are calling a method that doesn't exists somewhere in your code when clicking on the table view cell. Try searching for warnings in viewDidLoad and viewWill/DidAppear methods of SendMessageViewController

Ok found my problem:

In my delegate is was doing this

MenuViewController *menuViewController = [[[MenuViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
UINavigationController *navController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:menuViewController] autorelease];

So in the end I was calling methods on objects that where released. So I removed the autorelease and the problem was solved. Thanks for all that responded

Make sure you are calling the designated initialiser of UIViewController; since you aren't using a nib you should either call:

[[SendMessageViewController alloc] initWithNibName: nil bundle: nil];

Alternatively you could simply call this method in your view controller's init method.

If that doesn't solve it, set a symbolic breakpoint on NSException to get the code to stop at the point of problem and hopefully give you more info.

As an aside - any particular reason why you are creating a container view the size of the screen? You'll get one setup for free. You should just be able to add your UITableView as a sub view of the view controller's view, which would help simplify the code. Alternatively just use a UITableViewController.
