Question

Is there a best way to turn an integer into its month name in .net?

Obviously I can spin up a datetime to string it and parse the month name out of there. That just seems like a gigantic waste of time.

Answer 1

Try GetMonthName from DateTimeFormatInfo

You can do it by:

CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(1);
