[Abraham Andres Luna]

how can i use the DateAndTime module in my csharp code

i included a using statement:

using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

and then called the function:

DateAndTime.MonthName(1);

but i keep getting a "The name 'DateAndTime' does not exist in the current
context" error

thank you for your help

A using statement by itself, is not enough. You need to set a
reference to the Visual Basic assembly (.dll) as well.

If you have a DateTime variable, you can get the full month name from
that as per this example:

Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Now
MsgBox(dt.ToString("MMMM"))

Hi,

You do not need to use VB for this, DateTime.ToString() has an overloaded
version that accept a DateTimeFormatInfo that do just that.

For your case you could use MMM for the abreviated name or MMMM for the
fullname

cheers,
