How would you show the current month name in a label control.  I also need to show last month and 2 months ago. 3 different controls.

I know it has to be easy, but I just can't seem to figure it out for .net.

Thanks for the help

use MonthName with Now.Month:

lblThisMonthName.Text = MonthName(Now.Month)

lblLastMonthName.Text = MonthName(Now.Month - 1)

the code i give you is old VB, forget it, it's not a good practice with asp.net. this one is for asp.net:

lblThisMonthName.Text = Now.ToString("MMMM")
lblLastMonthName.Text = Now.AddMonths(-1).ToString("MMMM")

here is 2 links to get some infos about date formatting

DateTimeFormatInfo Class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemglobalizationdatetimeformatinfoclasstopic.asp


DateTimeFormatInfo.MonthNames Property:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemglobalizationdatetimeformatinfoclassmonthnamestopic.asp


Also you can download the "Class Browser" who come for free with web matrix where you can get properties, methods etc... for each class.
