Get the complete month name in English

Question

I use DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM") in order to get the current month's full name. It works well, but I get it in Hebrew.
Is there an option to control the output language?
I need it to be English.

Answer 1

You can pass a CultureInfo object as an argument DateTime.ToString():

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
var month = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM", ci);

// alternatively you can use CultureInfo.InvariantCulture:
var month = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Answer 2

Pass in the culture in which you want the name formatted. Like this:

DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM", new CultureInfo("en-GB"));
