I am currently showing a viewController in my new storyboard below:
var storyboard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: AccountStoryboard, bundle: nil)
var vc : W
The answer given by @Chris is works good in older version of swift.
Update Swift 3 & Swift 4
let storyboard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "AccountStoryboard", bundle: nil)
let vc : WelcomeViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "WelcomeID") as! WelcomeViewController
vc.teststring = "hello"
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc)
self.present(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
Thanks!!!
