Hey Mike -

The implementation of the property will manage the retaining and the releasing. You only need to worry about sending retain and release messages manually if you access the instance variable directly (not through a property). The only place you would typically need to do that would be in your dealloc method.

Hi,

Sorry about this cross-post, but the obj-c language list seems sort of dead.

If I have a property:

@property( retain ) NSString *blah ;

and in my code I assign it:

myObj.blah = @"woot!" ;

and then I want to reassign it, do I have to release it?

[myObj.blah release] ;
myObj.blah = @"new woot!" ;

or does the new assignment automatically release the retain? How about for

@property( copy ) NSString *blah ;

Do I have to release the copy?

Thanks,

Mike
