I was simply trying to use the `DateTime` structure to transform an integer between 1 and 12 into an abbrieviated month name.

Here is what I tried:

```
DateTime getMonth = DateTime.ParseExact(Month.ToString(), 
                       "M", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
return getMonth.ToString("MMM");

```

However I get a `FormatException` on the first line because the string is not a valid `DateTime`. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
