Populate ASP.NET dropdown list with month names using LINQ
Using LINQ and the Enumerable.Range method it's possible to populate a dropdown list of month names in a single line.
ddlMonth.Items.AddRange(
Enumerable.Range(1, 12)
.Select(x => new ListItem {
Text = new DateTimeFormatInfo().GetAbbreviatedMonthName(x),
Value = x.ToString()
}).ToArray());
