Solution

  • Try this 

    NSDate *today=calendarPicker.date;

NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];

NSDateComponents *components = [gregorian components: (NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit) fromDate: today];

components.year = [textfield.text intValue]; // Here value for year is fetched from a text field control. Similarly other values like month, date, hour or minute can be changed.

[calendarPicker setDate: [calendar dateFromComponents:components] ]; // Update the date picker control.

[calendar release];
