  #region Method to Fill the a DropDownList with Month Names and set the Current Month Selected

  I just reduced the number of line, but still effective.

   for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
  {
  DateTime date = new DateTime(1900, i, 1);
  ddlMonthName.Items.Add(new ListItem(date.ToString("MMMM"),i.ToString()));
  }

  ddlMonthName.SelectedValue = DateTime.Today.Month.ToString();

  I changed it to work for all ListControls and converted it to VB.NET

      Public Sub GetMonthList(ByVal MyddlMonthList As ListControl, ByVal SetCurruntMonth As Boolean)
          Dim month As DateTime = DateTime.MinValue
          For i As Integer = 0 To 11
              Dim NextMont As DateTime = month.AddMonths(i)
              Dim list As New ListItem()
              list.Text = NextMont.ToString("MMMM")
              list.Value = NextMont.Month.ToString()
              MyddlMonthList.Items.Add(list)
          Next
          If SetCurruntMonth = True Then
              MyddlMonthList.Items.FindByValue(DateTime.Now.Month.ToString()).Selected = True
          End If

      End Sub

  and heres another version thanks to Eduardo Calixto

   

  public void GetMyMonthList(DropDownList MyddlMonthList,bool SetCurruntMonth, string strCulture)
  {
     System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dti;
  
  
     if ( String.IsNullOrEmpty( strCulture) )
     {
        // Get cultureinfo culture used by the resource manager
        dti = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat;
     }
     else
     {
        // Create a cultureinfo using the especified culture parameter
        dti = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(strCulture, false).DateTimeFormat;
     }
     for (int i = 1; i < 13; i++)
     {
        ListItem list = new ListItem(dti.GetMonthName(i), i.ToString() );
        MyddlMonthList.Items.Add(list);
     }
     if (SetCurruntMonth == true)
     {
        MyddlMonthList.Items.FindByValue(DateTime.Now.Month.ToString()).Selected = true;
     }
  }
