UIDatePicker and NSDate

I have an NSDate that I get from a UIDatepicker.

IBOutlet UIDatePicker *dueDate;
NSDate *selectedDate = [dueDate date];

How do I retrieve the month from dueDate in the form of an int? (1 for Jan, 2 for Feb, etc.)

NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:NSMonthCalendarUnit fromDate:[dueDate date]];
NSInteger month = [components month];

NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] initWithDateFormat:@"%m" allowNaturalLanguage:NO] autorelease];
int month = [[dateFormat stringFromDate:dueDate] intValue];

use -[NSCalendar components:fromDate:] for instance the example here:
