Thanks Gwynne and Mike, that clears it up. I didn’t think about the missing -string method. When I remove the getter from my custom class it behaves the same and that was what I wanted to see.

Absolutely, I only use the dot notation for accessors. I never used something like that in real code.

I was only using it to figure out how the compiler does the transformation and I was looking specifically for a class that has a (void)setXXX: method that is not really a property accessor.


Thanks again
