How do you create a control during runtime on iOS

Is there a way to create a control during runtime? I tried something like

UIButton* tempButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(120, 1开发者_开发技巧60, 40, 40)];
[self.view insertSubview:tempButton atIndex:0];
[tempButton release];

it does not work

[self.view insertSubview:tempButton atIndex:0];
[tempButton release];
