I haven’t looked at your code, but why not use a nil placeholder value when binding? Pass an options dictionary with a key / value pair of NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption / <the value you want to use when nil> to the -bind:… method, or specify the value for the nil placeholder in the nib. Something like:
[datePicker bind: NSValueBinding
toObject: self
withKeyPath: @“myDate"
options: @{ NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption, [NSDate futureDate] }];
Hope that helps...
