Best way to turn an integer into a month name in c#?
Solution 1:
Try GetMonthName from DateTimeFormatInfo
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.datetimeformatinfo.getmonthname.aspx
You can do it by:
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(1);
Solution 2:
Why not just use somedatetime.ToString("MMMM")
?
Solution 3:
Updated with the correct namespace and object:
//This was wrong
//CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.MonthNames[index];
//Correct but keep in mind CurrentInfo could be null
DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.MonthNames[index];
Solution 4:
DateTime dt = new DateTime(year, month, day);
Response.Write(day + "-" + dt.ToString("MMMM") + "-" + year);
In this way, your month will be displayed by their name, not by integer.
Solution 5:
You can use a static method from the Microsoft.VisualBasic
namespace:
string monthName = Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.MonthName(monthInt, false);
