Convert month int to month name

I was simply trying to use the DateTime structure to transform an integer between 1 and 12 into an abbrieviated month name.

Here is what I tried:

DateTime getMonth = DateTime.ParseExact(Month.ToString(), 
                       "M", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
return getMonth.ToString("MMM");

However I get a FormatException on the first line because the string is not a valid DateTime. Can anyone tell me ho开发者_Python百科w to do this?

---

CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(1);

See Here for more details.

Or

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine( dt.ToString( "MMMM" ) );

Or if you want to get the culture-specific abbreviated name.

GetAbbreviatedMonthName(1);

Reference

---

var monthIndex = 1;
return month = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetAbbreviatedMonthName(monthIndex);

You can try this one as well

---

You can do something like this instead.

return new DateTime(2010, Month, 1).ToString("MMM");

---

CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(
    Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells[7].Text.Substring(3,2))).Substring(0,3) 
    + "-" 
    + Convert.ToDateTime(e.Row.Cells[7].Text).ToString("yyyy");
