NSDateFormatter is not converting correctly NSString to NSdate

here is code i am using for conversion

NSString * dateString = @"9/12/2011";
NSDateFormatter *serverDateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[serverDateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
NSDate *serverDate = [serverDateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
[serverDateFormatter release];

And output is 2011-09-11 19:00:00 +0000

But i just want to convert that nsstring into nsdate with the same format 9/12/2011

You can try below code because I run that code successfully.

NSString * dateString = @"9/12/2011";
NSDateFormatter *serverDateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[serverDateFormatter setDateFormat:@"d/MM/yyyy"];
NSDate *serverDate = [serverDateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSLog(@"%@",serverDate);

NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"d/MM/yyyy"];
NSDate *st = (NSDate *)[dateFormat stringFromDate:serverDate];
NSLog(@"%@",st);

Its return 9/12/2011 so try it.

Set this properties to your NSDateFormatter :

[serverDateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
[serverDateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];

Try this one.

     NSString * dateString = @"9/12/2011";
NSDateFormatter *serverDateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[serverDateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy"];
NSDate *serverDate = [serverDateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSLog(@"%@",serverDate);

NSDateFormatter *tempDate=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[tempDate setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
   NSDate *date=(NSDate *)[tempDate stringFromDate:serverDate];
NSLog(@"%@",date);

[tempDate release];
[serverDateFormatter release];

hope this will help you..
