I'm writing an app that deals with dates a lot. NSCalendarDate can be a real pain, but I've figured it out well. However, I've recently implemented a new NSPanel in my app whose controller has this line of code:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> NSCalendarDate *date = [NSCalendarDate dateWithYear:[newDate yearOfCommonEra]
month:[newDate monthOfYear]
day:[newDate dayOfMonth]
hour:[newDate hourOfDay]
second:[newDate secondOfMinute]
timeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@&quot;EST&quot;]]; </pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">newDate of course is another NSCalendarDate. The compiler is telling me that NSCalendarDate doesn't take this selector, which i know can't be because I've checked the dev docs. It seems to be a problem with the timeZone: part. I'm thinking that maybe it's a bug or something in the new dev tools... but that's unlikely...

Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like you forgot minute:.

Can't you just do
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">NSCalendarDate *date = [newDate copy];</pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">

Thanks guys. Chuck, thanks for seeing that detail, it fixed the problem of course (maybe i need glasses...). Angus_D, yeah, i could use that and it would be much easier, but it turned out that for my purposes, the following is better:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> NSCalendarDate *date = [NSCalendarDate dateWithYear:[newDate yearOfCommonEra]
month[newDate monthOfYear] == 1) ? (12) : ([newDate monthOfYear] - 1)
day:[newDate dayOfMonth]
hour:[newDate hourOfDay]
minute:[newDate minuteOfHour]
second:[newDate secondOfMinute]
timeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@&quot;EST&quot;]]; </pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">I think i'm done with my "MorgageApp". I made it for my mom actually, but it's a nice little tool, I think i'll post it on versiontracker.com. Thanks again.
