Hi,

I am trying to get a list of month and I have try this

Public List ddlMonth

{

for(int i= 1; i < 13; i++)

{

List monthlist = new List

{ new MonthToShow { MonthName = monthlist.Add(DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetMonthName(i),

MonthValue = i}

}

return monthlist;

but it is not working... this is to create a dropdownlist.

Thank you!

PS I have class MonthToShow

{

public string MonthName {get; set;}

public int MonthValue {get; set;}

}

Hi Alex,

Please try this one,
public List ddlMonth
        {
            List monthlist = new List();

            for (int i = 1; i < 13; i++)
            {
                var monthitem = new MonthToShow()
                {
                    MonthName = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetMonthName(i),
                    MonthValue = i
                };
                monthlist.Add(monthitem);
            }
            return monthlist;
        }

Hello, you need initialize before populate:
var monthlist = new List(); // Initialize before FOR

for(int i= 1; i < 13; i++)
          monthlist.Add( new MonthToShow { MonthName = monthlist.Add(DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetMonthName(i),
               MonthValue = i});
