Get Month Name and Day name for a Date in C#, ASP.Net

Sometimes, we may need to get the full month name and day name in ASP.Net from a given date.

In this small article, we will achieve this by 2 ways,

1. The ToString() method of DateTime will acccept the formatting string through which we can display the full month and day name for a given date.
   
   Response.Write(DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM"));
   Response.Write("<br>");
   Response.Write(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek);
   
2. The next method is to use DateTimeFormatInfo class of System.Globalization namespace. This class has GetMonthName() and GetDayName() method which gives the full month name and day name.

        DateTimeFormatInfo dinfo = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
        Response.Write(dinfo.GetMonthName(12));
        Response.Write(dinfo.GetDayName(DayOfWeek.Monday));

         Include System.Globalization namespace for the above code to work.

Happy Coding!!
