Month name from integer

[GISnet]

I don't really know if there is a built-in function (I looked in System.DateTime but didn't see one) so I threw this one together: private string MonthName(int iMonth) { string[] sMonths = {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" }; return sMonths[iMonth] ; }

thanks for that GISnet. I didn't see one either and wondered if I'd missed something really obvious and was being stoopid :wtf: It ain't what you know that matters. U.M.

Here is my contribution:

public enum Months
{
January = 1,
February,
March,
April,
May,
June,
July,
August,
September,
October,
November,
December
};

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
for (Months month = Months.January; month <= Months.December; month++)
Console.WriteLine ("{0} - {1}", (int)month, month.ToString ());
}

I respectfully submit that the problem description did not indicate the need for internationalization. Therefore my modest contribution met the initial requirements.
Since the bar has been raised, I will attempt to satisfy.
One solution might go thus:

public enum Mois
{
Janvier = 1,
Février,
Mars,
Avril,
Peut,
Juin,
Juillet,
Août,
Septembre,
Octobre,
Novembre,
Décembre
};
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
for (Mois mois = Mois.Janvier; mois <= Mois.Décembre; mois++)
{
Console.WriteLine (mois.ToString ());
}
}

I suspect that this is not what was intended. So to blend my previous solution with Monsieur Nischalke:

public enum Months
{
January,
February,
March,
April,
May,
June,
July,
August,
September,
October,
November,
December
};
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = new DateTimeFormatInfo ();
for (Months month = Months.January; month <= Months.December; month++)
{
Console.WriteLine (dtfi.MonthNames[(int)month]);
}
}

This has the benefit of symbolic constants instead of literals with the internationalization.

Since the gauntlet of challenge has been thrown. using System.Globalization; CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("fr-FR", true); DateTimeFormatInfo di = ci.DateTimeFormat; foreach(string strMonth in di.MonthNames) Console.WriteLine(strMonth);

[Jim Stewart]

May I ask how one gets the month name from an integer in this scenario?

DateTimeFormatInfo.MonthNames Gets or sets a one-dimensional array of type String containing the culture-specific full names of the months.

Touche - I was getting a bit punchy last night.
