I have an integer representing a month, what is the best way to convert it into the full month name?

thanks

I don't really know if there is a built-in function (I looked in System.DateTime but didn't see one) so I threw this one together:

private string MonthName(int iMonth)<br />
{<br />
     string[] sMonths = {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };<br />
     return sMonths[iMonth] ;<br />
}

I didn't see one either and wondered if I'd missed something really obvious and was being stoopid WTF | :WTF:

I respectfully submit that the problem description did not indicate the need for internationalization. Therefore my modest contribution met the initial requirements.

Since the bar has been raised, I will attempt to satisfy.

One solution might go thus:

public enum Mois 
{
	Janvier = 1, 
	Février, 
	Mars, 
	Avril, 
	Peut, 
	Juin, 
	Juillet, 
	Août, 
	Septembre, 
	Octobre, 
	Novembre, 
	Décembre 
};
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
	for (Mois mois = Mois.Janvier; mois <= Mois.Décembre; mois++)
	{
		Console.WriteLine (mois.ToString ());
	}
}

I suspect that this is not what was intended. So to blend my previous solution with Monsieur Nischalke:

public enum Months 
{	
	January, 	
	February, 	
	March, 	
	April, 
	May, 	
	June, 	
	July, 	
	August, 	
	September, 	
	October, 	
	November, 	
	December
};
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
	DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = new DateTimeFormatInfo ();
	for (Months month = Months.January; month <= Months.December; month++)
	{
		Console.WriteLine (dtfi.MonthNames[(int)month]);
	}
}

This has the benefit of symbolic constants instead of literals with the internationalization.

C# Zip component

Hi all:

I'm a total newbie to C#, but would like to know if there is a freeware implementation of the zip component for data compression.

I have used a similar component in C++ for years but have not seen a similar implementation for C#.

TIA,
Martin.

VS.NET comes with a handy install creation wizard, you can create setup and deployment package using that. It has options to pull in the runtime on demand,it can also take output from other projects on the solution.

No it doesn't. The CLR merge module it has is only to satisfy dependencies with .NET Framework assemblies. This is clearly outlined in the .NET Framework SDK docs / MSDN. To do this, you need to write a bootstrapper (executable) that checks the necessary registry key and installs the framework before continuing the Windows Installer portion of your application (something I happen to know a lot about and follow closely).

Wise for Windows Installer (www.wisesolutions.com) did it right: the bootstrapper should also see if Windows Installer 2.0 is installed (the MSI runtime). Since it is required for .NET and the .NET installation requires Windows Installer 2.0 (makes sense, right?), your bootstrapper can merely check to see if .NET is installed. If it isn't, you need to install it anyway, which includes the Windows Installer 2.0. If MSI 2.0 is installed but not .NET, no harm done.

If you look in the framework SDK docs (in the TOC), there is a lengthy topic on deploying .NET with your application. The MSM that is meant only to satisfy dependencies (which is why it is marked as Ignore by default) and only includes assemblies - it does not include the CLR, Fusion, or anything else required for .NET to actually run!

Thanks for the clarification, I had thought the installer would take care of installing the runtime along with the application. I guess .Net or not installation is always going to be a pain. I will go through the docs. thanks again.

Kannan
