C# - Converting Month to a string.

I have a DateTime variable and i need to print out the month that is stored in it... but when i use the Month property it gives me a number obviously, is there a method or something that i could call to automatically give me the string representation of that month... (ie. "March" instead of 3). i would like to avoid writing an if statement to get each month..

Thanks!

  1. myDateTime.ToString("MMMM");
Or something very similar. I'm not on windows right now to test it.

Check out this page for more format strings.
