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

I did in the following way: (it's possible to set the culture)

var months = Enumerable.Range(1, 12).Select(i => 
    new
    {
        Index = i,
        MonthName = new CultureInfo("en-US").DateTimeFormat.GetAbbreviatedMonthName(i)
    })
    .ToDictionary(x => x.Index, x => x.MonthName);
