Question

I’m using the following code:

//create instance of EKEventStore
            EKEventStore *eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];

            //creating instance of EKEvent
            EKEvent *event  = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore];

            //setting the appropriate properties of the new event
            event.title     = @"England";

            event.startDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];


            event.endDate   = [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:600
                                                         sinceDate:event.startDate];
            event.location = @"Metalist";
            event.notes = @" Play";


            [event setCalendar:[eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
            NSError *error;
            [eventStore saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&error];

i want to save this data in:

9 june 2012 – 18:00 hour how can i do this?

event.startDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];
event.endDate   = [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:600 sinceDate:event.startDate];

And i want to make a warning (alert) too

To create an NSDate object with a specific date, you can use the NSDateComponents class:

NSDateComponents *myDate = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[myDate setDay:9];
[myDate setMonth:6];
[myDate setYear:2011];
[myDate setHour:18];
event.startDate = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateFromComponents:myDate];

Don’t forget to release myDate if you are not using ARC:

[myDate release];
