What is "not working"? This is not descriptive. What was wrong?

Solution 2

Try:

C#

String s = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM yyyy");

There is a list of the formats here: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]

Do note that these conversions are culture specific, so if you run this on a server it will not necessarily produce a local date on a client.

Solution 3

Use the simple code shown below:

String datemonth = DateTime.Now.Year.ToString() + ":"+ DateTime.Now.Month.ToString();

This you can format and have greater flexibility
