What is the best way to code up a Month and Year drop down list for ASP.NET?

Question

I have an internal application that I needs to have a drop down list for two date type elements: Month and Year. These values are not in

Here is my solution, which is very similar to @jesse-brown's solution (the accepted answer)

VB.NET:

In a global functions class:

Public Shared Function GetMonthList() As Generic.Dictionary(Of String, String)
    Dim months As New Generic.Dictionary(Of String, String)()
    For m As Int32 = 1 To 12
        months.Add(String.Format("{0:0#}", m), CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(m))
    Next

    Return months
End Function

On the ASPX page:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    ddMonth.DataSource = GlobalFunctions.GetMonthList()
    ddMonth.DataValueField = "Key"
    ddMonth.DataTextField = "Value"
    ddMonth.DataBind()

End Sub

This implementation is in VB.NET because that happens to be what this webapp is using (legacy), however thank you very much for the examples in C# (my preferred language), I'm posting the VB.NET here to help the VB.NET community as well.
