Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public virtual NSDateComponents ComponentsFromDateToDateOptions(
	NSUInteger unitFlags,
	NSDate startingDate,
	NSDate resultDate,
	NSUInteger opts
)

Public Overridable Function ComponentsFromDateToDateOptions ( _
	unitFlags As NSUInteger, _
	startingDate As NSDate, _
	resultDate As NSDate, _
	opts As NSUInteger _
) As NSDateComponents

public:
virtual NSDateComponents^ ComponentsFromDateToDateOptions(
	NSUInteger unitFlags, 
	NSDate^ startingDate, 
	NSDate^ resultDate, 
	NSUInteger opts
)

Parameters

unitFlags (NSUInteger): Specifies the components for the returned NSDateComponents object—a bitwise OR of NSCalendarUnit constants.

startingDate (NSDate): The start date for the calculation.

resultDate (NSDate): The end date for the calculation.

opts (NSUInteger): Options for the calculation.

Return Value

An NSDateComponents object whose components are specified by unitFlags and calculated from the difference between the resultDate and startDate using the options specified by opts. Returns nil if either date falls outside the defined range of the receiver or if the computation cannot be performed.
