[Jon C. Munson II] That made a difference. I took your literal word
originally. :)
After adding @class anEntity; to the .h file (may not be necessary, but did
it anyway), and adding #import "anEntity.h" to the .m file, using:
[(anEntity *)someObject setAttribute:@"somevalue"];
everything worked just peachy. This uses the dynamic setter for the
anEntity class.
So, I'll switch from using the KVC calls to the casted calls to take
advantage of better efficiency.
Thank you, Quincey Morris, for your insight, I appreciate it.
I could not, however get this to work (and it may not be possible) with the
appropriate @class & #import:
(anEntity *)someObject.attribute = @"somevalue";
Is there a way to implement that methodology as well? Correct me if I'm
wrong, however, the dot syntax is the same as the dynamic setter, right? To
use this methodology, does one then need to use the explicit someObject
instead of the generic version:
// generic
NSManagedObject someObject = [NSEntityDescription insert...];
(anEntity *)someObject.attribute = @"somevalue";
// explicit
AnEntity *anEntity = [NSEntityDescription insert...];
anEntity.attribute = @"somevalue";
Thanks I.S.!
Peace, Love, and Light,
