If you have your UITextField as an attribute of the class simply check it on the delegate method

- (BOOL) textFieldShouldBeginEditing: (UITextField*) textField {
      if (textField == _datePickerField) {
        // Show picker
      }
}

If not, UITextField is a subclass of UIView. You can tag it when created with the value of an enumeration and then, on the delegate method check the tag. If the textField you are editing is the one who raises the DatePicker, do it.

enum {
  iee_Field1 = 0,
  iee_Field2,
  iee_DatePcikerField
};

- (BOOL) textFieldShouldBeginEditing: (UITextField*) textField {
  if (textField.tag == iee_DatePickerField) {
    // Show picker
  }
}
