The best way I've found to get month names in ASP.net is by using:

Code: Select all

 
dim dtfi as System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo
monthName = dtfi.getMonthName(monthNo)

So, then if monthNo was '03', then monthName would be March.


If you're getting the full date from a datasource, and I'm assuming you need to extract it from an an msSQL database, you'd need the query:

Code: Select all

SELECT DATEPART(mm,monthField) as theMonth

I made some very large assumptions when writing this - but I hope you can get something useful out of it!

Good luck,
