I suspect labelStr is nil. When are you executing this line? If labelStr is an outlet and you are doing it in an init method, that is too early -- labelStr has not been connected yet. Try moving this line to awakeFromNib.

In general, when a line of code doesn't seem to be having any effect:

* Make sure the line is actually being executed, using a breakpoint or NSLog.

* Make sure the receiver isn't nil, using the debugger or NSLog.

* If the receiver is an outlet, make sure you aren't messaging it before the outlet has been connected.
