How to get day, month, year, hours, minutes, seconds from UIDatePicker

I have been going up and down through all kinds of reference docs and examples over the web but I just can't get how to get what day, month, year, hours, minutes will it be for a given timestamp in Objective C. Any ideas? The code I'm using for the purpose is like this:

    NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:1286181000];
    unsigned int compFlags = NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit;
    NSDateComponents *weekdayComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:compFlags fromDate:date];
    NSLog(@"%d %d, %d:%d", [weekdayComponents day], [weekdayComponents month], [weekdayComponents hour], [weekdayComponents minute]);
    [date release];
    [weekdayComponents release];

Although the timestamp is for a day in October, the output gives me 19th of December.

UIDatePicker Component value

I have a UIDatePicker that shows (ex. April | 13 | 2010). I need to get each component value and set it as an integer so it can be put into three separate keys in a Plist.

MyMonth  Number  04
MyDay    Number  13
MyYear   Number  2010

I can set a text label by using:

NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
df.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterMediumStyle;
dateLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",
                                           df stringFromDate:datePkr.date]];
[df release];

But I just need to convert each component value to integer. Would it be easier creating a UIPickerView with date array and doing it that way?

To get a component from date picker, generate a NSDateComponents object from the calendar with -components:fromDate::

NSDateComponents* comps = [datePkr.calendar components:(NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit |  NSDayCalendarUnit)
                                              fromDate:datePkr.date];
int myYear = [comps year];
int myMonth = [comps month];
int myDay = [comps day];
