Assuming the following:



@property(retain) myVar;

...

@synthesize myVar;



...



-(void) dealloc {

   // Can I use:

  self.myVar = nil;

// versus:

[myVar release];   //  ?

}





I've seen examples of using [myVar release].   But doesn't setting myVar
= nil does the same thing?



Which is the preferred way?



Ric.
