Get month name?

[Edwin Knoppert]

I can't find a way to obtain the months name from a date.
Like 'August'

Hi Edwin,

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo d = new
System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();

string month = d.MonthNames[DateTime.Now.Month];

Thanks it works however, how to use it without the culture thing?
My web.config already has the dutch culture.

DateTimeFormatInfo d = new CultureInfo("nl-NL", false).DateTimeFormat;
sVorigeMaand = d.MonthNames[DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).Month];

Warning, odd the items list starts from 0 but has a 13th item..

This is actually the current month!
sMaand =
DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.MonthNames[DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).Month];

DateTimeFormatInfo d = new CultureInfo("nl-NL", false).DateTimeFormat;

This is unnecessary in this instance...

sVorigeMaand = d.MonthNames[DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).Month];

sVorigeMaand = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("MMMM");
