Answer 1

You can try this... Ref Here:

for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
{
    drpBMonth.Items.Add(new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem(DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetMonthName(i), i.ToString()))};

Answer 2

For ASP.NET MVC this is what I'm doing.

Note I prefer to use a codebehind for things like this - its still part of the view and there's nothing wrong with the view constructing a SelectList.

PaymentControl.ascx

 <%= Html.DropDownList("ExpirationMonth", ExpirationMonthDropdown)%> / 
 <%= Html.DropDownList("ExpirationYear", ExpirationYearDropdown)%>

PaymentControl.ascx.cs

public partial class PaymentControl : ViewUserControl<CheckoutModel>
    {
        public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> ExpirationMonthDropdown
        {
            get
            {
                return Enumerable.Range(1, 12).Select(x =>

                    new SelectListItem()
                    {
                        Text = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.AbbreviatedMonthNames[x - 1] + " (" + x + ")",
                        Value = x.ToString(),
                        Selected = (x == Model.ExpirationMonth)
                    });
            }
        }

        public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> ExpirationYearDropdown
        {
            get
            {
                return Enumerable.Range(DateTime.Today.Year, 20).Select(x =>

                new SelectListItem()
                {
                    Text = x.ToString(),
                    Value = x.ToString(),
                    Selected = (x == Model.ExpirationYear)
                });
            }
        }
    }
