Let's say I do this:

 int monthInDigit = getMonth(month); monthInDigit <-- 6 

How can i achieve this. If you cannot get my question, please, I will explain it correctly.

Answer 1

 int monthInDigit = DateTime.ParseExact(month, "MMM", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Month; 

Answer 2

First you can parse it before a DateTime :

 DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("Jun", "MMM", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); int month = dt.Month; if(month < 6) { // do something... } 

Answer 3

another way:

 string [] arr= {jun, fab,...}; public int getMonth(string month){ for(int i = 0 ; i< arr.length ; i++){ if(string[i].Contains(month) || month.Contains(arr[i])) return i+1; } return -1;// if month is invalid , return -1 }
