How to get name of month

[prosoft]

When I use
Dim myDTFI As DateTimeFormatI nfo = New CultureInfo("he-IL",
True).DateTimeF ormat
Dim strhmon1 As String = (myDTFI.GetMont hName(hmon1))
MsgBox(strhmon1 )

I get the local name of the gregorian month.
How do I get the local name of the local month ?

Your code worked fine for me.
'Condensed version
Dim c As New CultureInfo("he-IL")
MessageBox.Show (c.DateTimeForm at.GetMonthName (Now.Month))

I am getting the wrong information, is it a bug?

Dim tstHCal As New HebrewCalendar
Dim tstDT As New DateTime(2004, 9, 1) ' 1 sep' 2004
Dim hmonth As Integer = myHCal.GetMonth (tstDT)
Dim tstDTFI As DateTimeFormatI nfo = New CultureInfo("he-IL",
True).DateTimeF ormat
tstDTFI.Calenda r = myHCal
Dim hmonthName As String = (tstDTFI.GetMon thName(hmonth))
MsgBox(hmonthNa me)

the output is "Av"
it should be "Elul" because 1 sep' 2004 is in "elul" , see hebcal.com
I can see what is happening as well. Usually month 12 (as in Gregorian
2004,9,1)
is "elul" , but when there is a leap year month 12 is "av" and month 13 is
"elul".
The problem is that
Dim hmonthName As String = (tstDTFI.GetMon thName(hmonth))
has no way of knowing if it's a leap year or not, so it always returns
a value as if it was a leap year. Is it supposed to be this way?

I get something I am not able to read and translate to Roman letters

You're right, I too get something; I don't know if it's correct, the method
didn't fail, good enough for me.

I am not sure if you saw my post just below your reply, the timestamp
on it is 15:35. I explained that

Dim hmonthName As String = (tstDTFI.GetMon thName(hmonth))

cannot return the correct name because within this expression
there is no TimeDate information. I was just wondering why
GetMonthName was not included in the DateTime object,
perhaps I am doing something wrong... It's not a bug, maybee
a design bug, but not an implementation bug.

B.t.w. if you want to see hebrew text you need to add the
hebrew keyboard in the control panel, it's as easy as 1,2,3.

Prosoft,

I gave you an answer earlier than any other? What is wrong with that, when I
do it like this I get it even in what I think is Herbrew (??????)

Me.Textbox1.tex t = Now.ToString("M MMM", New
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo("he-IL"))
