Edit Question
Title
Body
Which of the following is best practice in Objective-C? UITableView* view = (UITableView*) [self view]; [view setSeparatorColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; [view release]; vs. ((UITableView*) self.view).separatorColor = [UIColor blackColor]; Or is there a better way of writing this? self.view is a UIView* . I'm asking both because I have a weird looking cast (maybe there's a better way?) and because of the following text from the official documentation, which hints that it's more than just a matter of style or personal preference: A further advantage is that the compiler can signal an error when it detects an attempt to write to a read-only declared property. If you instead use square bracket syntax for accessing variables, the compiler—at best—generates only an undeclared method warning that you invoked a nonexistent setter method, and the code fails at runtime.
