[RESOLVED] Build array of month

How can I easily build an array using current month as starting point and build 12 buckets where bucket 1 = current month -1 month, bucket 2 = current month -2 month and so on..... Thank you.

DateTime.Now.Month will give you the current month number. Create a loop for 1 to 12, and keep subtracting (DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-4)). But that is in itself irrelevant - each bucket is simply numbered and can represent the amount to subtract by. Is that all you really need or is there a bigger context to the buckets?

I managed this way, not the best code though..

Code:

---

For i = 0 To myNewMonth.Length - 1
            myNewdate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-i - 1).ToString
            myNewMonth(i) = Month(myNewdate).ToString() & "/" & Year(myNewdate)
Next i

Hey,

I would recommend that you have you a look at the DateTime Members available here:

There is no reason why you need to do the methods that you are using for Month and Year, these are already available as properties on the DateTime class.
