C#: Month field not displaying

C#: Month field not displaying

Hi. I need some C# expert help.

I have the DOB dropdown and I already got the Day and Year field out to display but not the month. Is there any ways that you could help?

Here are my codes:

int col = 0;

arrDOB = new ArrayList();

DateTime dob = Convert.ToDateTime(varDOB);

if (varDOB != "")

{

if (col == 0)

{

//Populates the day

ddlDay.Items.FindByValue(Convert.ToString(dob.Day)).Selected = true;

arrDOB.Add(dob.Day);

}

else if (col == 1)

{

//Populates the month

ddlMonth.SelectedValue = dob.Month.ToString();

// ddlMonth.Items.FindByValue(Convert.ToString(dob.Month)).Selected = true;

arrDOB.Add(dob.Month);

// ddlMonth.Visible = true;

}

//Populates the year

ddlYear.Items.FindByValue(Convert.ToString(dob.Year)).Selected = true;

arrDOB.Add(dob.Year);

}

Thanks. :))

Remove the col variable and it should load all combos properly..
arrDOB = new ArrayList();
                DateTime dob = Convert.ToDateTime(varDOB);
                if (varDOB != "")
                {
                             //Populates the day
                            ddlDay.Items.FindByValue(Convert.ToString(dob.Day)).Selected = true;
                            arrDOB.Add(dob.Day);
                             //Populates the month
                            ddlMonth.SelectedValue = dob.Month.ToString();
                          // ddlMonth.Items.FindByValue(Convert.ToString(dob.Month)).Selected = true;
                           arrDOB.Add(dob.Month);
                          // ddlMonth.Visible = true;


                         //Populates the year
                        ddlYear.Items.FindByValue(Convert.ToString(dob.Year)).Selected = true;
                        arrDOB.Add(dob.Year);
                }

Hi Nur,

I guess your month dropdownlist has the names of the months. Like January, February... Not 1,2,3... That's the reason.

Change your 'ddlMonth.SelectedValue = dob.Month.ToString();' line to following.

ddlMonth.SelectedValue = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(
dob.Month);
