How to convert int Month to String Month Name in C#?

Often we get month as integer from external source and want to display it as "Oct" or "October" i.e. string. Following is a code to convert the int month to string month :)

 
 /// <summary>  
 /// Converts the given month int to month name  
 /// </summary>  
 /// <param name="month">month int </param>  
 /// <param name="abbrev">return abbreviated or not</param>  
 /// <returns>Short or long month name as string </returns>  
 private static string GetMonthName(int month, bool abbrev) 
 { 
    DateTime date = new DateTime(2000, month, 1); 
    if (abbrev) return date.ToString("MMM"); 
    return date.ToString("MMMM"); 
 }

Hope this helps :)
