I want to create three buttons in right side of Navigation bar.I am using storyboard for creating the UIView Controller. In DetailViewController am Embedded a Navigation bar using storyboard and then creating three UIBarButtonItem programetically and then adding these in an array then assigning it to navigationitem.This is working fine.

UIBarButtonItem *Button1 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Button1" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                           target:self action:@selector(Button1Clicked:)] ;

UIBarButtonItem *Button2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Button2" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                             target:self action:@selector(Button2Clicked:)] ;

UIBarButtonItem *Button3 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Button3" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                              target:self action:@selector(Button3Clicked::)] ;

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems =
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:Button1,Button2,Button3, nil];

I have another viewcontroller this is a modalviewcontreoller. I am creating the view controller using storyboard and adding a navigationbar not a navigationcontroller.Then using the same method for adding buttons to navigtion bar, but not shown any buttons. Plese anyone know how to solve this issue.?

If your viewController is in UINavigationController you can simply use 

self.navigationItem ...

which works fine as I see. But if your viewController (your modal in this case) is not in UINavController, you have to access UINavigationItem in this way:

someNavigationBar.topItem ...

So, if you set an IBOutlet to your navigationBar, your code should look like this one:

UIBarButtonItem *Button1 = ...
UIBarButtonItem *Button2 = ...
UIBarButtonItem *Button3 = ...

yourNavigationBar.topItem.rightBarButtonItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:Button1, Button2, Button3, nil];

Please add UINavigationBar instead of UINavigationItem
