Do you want to know how to loop month for month Quantum Leap?

Dim result As New List(Of String)
Dim currentDate = Now()
Dim last6Month = Now().AddMonths(-6)
While currentDate >= last6Month
    result.Add(String.Format("{0}-{1}", currentDate.Month, currentDate.Year))
    currentDate = currentDate.AddMonths(-1)
End While

result.Clear()
' or the other way round :
currentDate = Now().AddMonths(-6)
While currentDate <= Now()
    result.Add(String.Format("{0}-{1}", currentDate.Month, currentDate.Year))
    currentDate = currentDate.AddMonths(1)
End While
