Answer 1

You can either set the culture of the thread:

  DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
  // Sets the CurrentCulture property to U.S. English.
  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
  // Displays dt, formatted using the ShortDatePattern
  // and the CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.
  Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("MMMM"));

Or you can pass a CultureInfo to the DateTime.ToString() function.

  // Creates a CultureInfo for U.S. English.
  CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
  // Displays dt, formatted using the ShortDatePattern
  // and the CultureInfo.
  Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("MMMM", ci));

Note that you could also choose CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.
