There are two ways to get the Current Month Name from the Current Date.

1)  Using Globliziation

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo d = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
string month = d.MonthNames[DateTime.Now.Month-1];

2) Using new date object as follow

string MonthName = GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Month);
static string GetMonthName(int monthNum)
{
return GetMonthName(monthNum, false);
}
static string GetMonthName(int monthNum, bool abbreviate)
{
if (monthNum < 1 || monthNum > 12)
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(”monthNum”);
DateTime date = new DateTime(1, monthNum, 1);
if (abbreviate)
return date.ToString(”MMM”);
else
return date.ToString(”MMMM”);
}
