How to list all month names, e.g. for a combo?

Question

At the moment I\'m creating a DateTime for each month and formatting it to only include the month.
Is there another or any better way to do this?

Answer 1

string[] monthNames = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.MonthNames;

foreach (string m in monthNames) // writing out
{
    Console.WriteLine(m);
}

Output:

January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
October
November
December

Update: Do note that for different locales/cultures, the output might not be in English. Haven't tested that before though.

For US English only:

string[] monthNames = (new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")).DateTimeFormat.MonthNames;
