UIButton Or UILabel with underlined text. iOS 6.

For iOS 6 -----------

    NSMutableAttributedString *commentString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"ADD ANOTHER CONTACT"];

    [commentString addAttribute:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:NSUnderlineStyleSingle] range:NSMakeRange(0, [commentString length])];

// Or for adding Colored text use----------

    UIColor* textColor = [UIColor blueColor];

    [commentString setAttributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:textColor,NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:NSUnderlineStyleSingle]} range:NSMakeRange(0,[commentString length])];

// Or for adding Colored text use----------

    [_addContactButton setAttributedTitle:commentString forState:UIControlStateNormal];

For Below iOS 6 -----------
