How convert date in words?

I want to convert date in english wor开发者_C百科ds in Vb.net.

For example: 26 May,2008 to Twenty sixth May 2008

What will be best approch, is any function in datetime data type exists?

This probably the best approach:-

private static string[] dayText = new string[]
{"First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth", "Fifth", "Sixth", "Seventh", "Eighth",
 "Nineth", "Tenth", "Eleventh", "Twelveth", "Thirteenth", "Fourteenth", "Fifteenth",
  "Sixteenth", "Seventeenth", "Eighteenth", "Nineteenth", "Twentieth", "Twenty first",
 "Twenty second", "Twenty third", "Twenty fourth", "Twenty fifth", "Twenty sixth",
 "Twenty seventh", "Twenty eighth", "Twenty nineth", "Thirtieth", "Thirty first"};

public static string DayInWords(int day)
{
    //assertion code here
    return dayText[day-1];
}

...
string result = DayInWords(myDate.Day) + myDate.ToString(" MMM yyyy");

I don't know of any built in function. But there are only 31 days to consider. It would be easy enough to construct a function which manually replaced 1 to 31 with words. Then append the month and year, as in:

Function foobar(ByVal mydate As Date) As String

Dim result As String = ""
Select Case mydate.Day
    Case 1
        result = "First"
        Case 2
            result = "Second"
        Case 3
            result = "Third"

        ... etc ...

        Case 31
        result = "Thirty-First"
End Select
Return result & " " & mydate.ToString("MMMM yyyy")
End Function

Indeed given the small amount of possible numbers, hardcoding them is probably the easiest soultion. But if you don't want to do that, take a look at these resources:
