method

Hi,

I want to call a method on an object which I get through [self delegate]. I know which class it is so I can import the class and call it normally but I could also use performSelector: which doesn't require importing my class. I do not need to pass a parameter to the method. And yes, I did read this. Which one is preferable in this case?
