        string strMonthName = mfi.GetMonthName(8).ToString();

Any suggestion...

Answer 1

You want GetAbbreviatedMonthName

Answer 2

Replace GetMonthName with GetAbbreviatedMonthName so that it reads:

string strMonthName = mfi.GetAbbreviatedMonthName(8);

Answer 3

You could also try:

string monthName = new DateTime(2010, 8, 1)
    .ToString("MMM", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
