Re: Get month name?

Thanks it works however, how to use it without the culture thing?
My web.config already has the dutch culture.

DateTimeFormatInfo d = new CultureInfo("nl-NL", false).DateTimeFormat;
sVorigeMaand = d.MonthNames[DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).Month];

:)

Re: Get month name?

Warning, odd the items list starts from 0 but has a 13th item..

This is actually the current month!
sMaand =
DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.MonthNames[DateTime.Now.AddMo nths(-1).Month];

This is unnecessary in this instance...

> sVorigeMaand = d.MonthNames[DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).Month];
sVorigeMaand = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("MMMM");
