Thanks! For some reason I was finding it extremely hard to find the
answer in the docs.

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
