VB.Net to C# translation

[Guest]

Hi everyone,
I’m am new to C# and trying to convert to C# from VB.Net an article I found
at 4GuysFromRolla.com:
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/090104-1.aspx titled Extending the
Calendar Control’s Date Navigation by Mehmet Genc.

What I am trying to accomplish is enhance the web calendar control that
comes with Visual Studio.Net so that it has two drop-down lists, containing
the months and years. This way, a user can quickly jump to a specific month
or year with one click. The code was written in VB.Net and I am trying to
convert it to C#.

There two parts to this code I am having problem translating:

1. After populating the drop-down list with the months there is a part of
the code that updates the control with the chosen month:
VB.Net version:
'Make the current month selected item in the list
drpCalMonth.Items.FindByValue(MonthName(DateTime.Now.Month)).Selected =
True

2. I am having difficulty translating the part that populates the year
drop-down list:
VB.Net version:
For intYear = DateTime.Now.Year - 20 To DateTime.Now.Year + 20
drpCalYear.Items.Add(intYear)
Next

I've figured out part two of my question above.

//Year list can be extended
int intYear;
int intEndYear = (DateTime.Now.Year + 5);

for(intYear = DateTime.Now.Year - 5;
intYear <= intEndYear;
++intYear)

As far as I know, there's no way to get the month name in .NET, apart from
using the VisualBasic namespace.

using the VisualBasic namespace.

TextBox1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM,dddd - yyyy");
prints
March,Wednesday - 2006
to a text box.

Yes - you can write a function to get the month name via string manipulation
of date variables (in the same way you can write methods to do all sorts of
things), but there's no .NET method which returns the month name directly.

This is not very obvious, but you can so something like this:

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dtInfo = new
System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(dtInfo.MonthNames[now.Month - 1]);

I agree it would be nice to have something like "DateTime.Now.MonthName"

Your help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

My code should proabably be revised to:

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dtInfo = new
System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(dtInfo.GetMonthName(now.Month));

This is not very obvious, but you can so something like this:

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dtInfo = new
System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(dtInfo.MonthNames[now.Month - 1]);

Even more compact:
MessageBox.Show(System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetMonthName(someDate.Month));

It still might be too awkward for us to incorporate into Instant C# or
Instant C++ however...

Thanks guys, your suggestions have been very helpful.
