Perform an action when modalViewController is dismissed

[brian515]

I am trying to perform an action when a modalViewController is dismissed. The modalViewController is a view loaded from a .xib with its own viewController. When the user presses a button, I want the modalViewController to be dismissed, and in the view that presents the modalViewController (my main view) to perform an action. However, I do not know where to put this code. I have searched the documentation, but information on the presentModalViewControllerAnimated method are very sparse. Thanks for your help!

Set up a notification on your main controller, and post a notification from the modal at the dimiss button action. Then dismiss the modal.

viewWillAppear and viewDidAppear will also be called on the parent view controller when its modal view controller goes away.
