UIViewerTableViewController.m:15: error: expected identifier before '*' token

I am new to objective-c programming. I come from a C# background. I am having problems with the following code I am writing for a proof of concept for an iPhone App:

I am getting a number of compile errors but I think they are all due to the first error (could be wrong) - error: expected identifier before '*' token (@synthesize *lists; in the .m file)

I'm not sure why my code is showing up the way it is in the view below the editor..hmm any way, any help would be appreciated.

@interface UIViewerTableViewController : UITableViewController {

 NSArray  *lists;
 UIImage *icon;

}

@property (nonatomic,retain) NSArray  *lists;
@property (nonatomic,retain) UIImage *icon;

@end

@synthesize *lists; should be @synthesize lists;

This assumes the private member you're providing access to is called lists which seems to be true for your code above.

PS - you can format your code using the '1010' button in the editor toolbar, or by enclosing in backticks.

same holds true for @synthesize *icon; You need to change it to @synthesize icon;
