How to change the Month into string as Jan, Feb, Mar, ..., but not 1, 2, 3...?

Make the obvious extremely difficult. There are 1300 libraries and the best you guys can come up with is looping and string formatting? DateTimeFormatInfo dt = new CultureInfo( "en-US", false ).DateTimeFormat; dt.GetAbbreviatedMonthName(DateTime.Now.Month); Enjoy! ;-) I'm just joking...no offense.

Hi Softair You can use the special formatting strings in the ToString command for date: string MyString = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM"); This will produce "Oct" (At Least for the next few days) ;) -Mike G.

Hello! TheDoctor, Thanks for your reply. I have tested your method, but it doesn't work. I think to solve a problem to use the most easy way is ok. Thanks!

public string TDate() { string DateInString=""; int Day=DateTime.Now.Day; // this is to change string[] dateparts= system.DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString().Split(Convert.ToChar(",")); string Month = dateparts[1].Substring(1,3); //------------------- int Year=DateTime.Now.Year; DateInString=Day.ToString(); DateInString+="-" + Month.ToString(); DateInString+="-" + Year.ToString(); return DateInString; } I tried and it worked well. Good luck

So easy... public string TDate() { string DateInString=""; int Day=DateTime.Now.Day; int Month=DateTime.Now.Month; int Year=DateTime.Now.Year; DateInString=Day.ToString(); if(Month==1) { DateInString+="-" + "Jan"; } . . . if(Month==12) { DateInString+="-" + "Dec"; } DateInString+="-" + Year.ToString(); return DateInString; }
