You can use the CultureInfo to get the month name  You can even get the short month name as well as other fun things    I would suggestion you put these into extension methods  which will allow you to write less code later  However you can implement however you like   Here is an example of how to do it using extension methods   using System  using System Globalization   class Program       static void Main                  Console WriteLine DateTime Now ToMonthName             Console WriteLine DateTime Now ToShortMonthName             Console Read             static class DateTimeExtensions       public static string ToMonthName this DateTime dateTime                return CultureInfo CurrentCulture DateTimeFormat GetMonthName dateTime Month              public static string ToShortMonthName this DateTime dateTime                return CultureInfo CurrentCulture DateTimeFormat GetAbbreviatedMonthName dateTime Month             Hope this helps
