You can use the CultureInfo to get the month name. Another way is to use extension methods. Here is an example of how to do it using extension methods:
Add a DateTimeExtensions
class to your project.
static class DateTimeExtensions
{
public static string ToMonthName(this DateTime dateTime)
{
return CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(dateTime.Month);
}
public static string ToShortMonthName(this DateTime dateTime)
{
return CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetAbbreviatedMonthName(dateTime.Month);
}
}
Now you can simply use these extension methods in your project like any other DateTime
method.
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToMonthName());
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToShortMonthName());
Console.Read();
}
}
