How to create an NSDate date object?

Question

How can I create an NSDate from the day, month and year? There don\'t seem to be any methods to do this and they have removed the class method dateWithString<

Answer 1

You can use NSDateComponents:

NSDateComponents *comps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[comps setDay:6];
[comps setMonth:5];
[comps setYear:2004];
NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc]
    initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
NSDate *date = [gregorian dateFromComponents:comps];
[comps release];
