Parse it as System.DateTime and get month from the result. This is what you need:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131044.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.month.aspx[^].

See other methods named System.DateTime.Parse, System.DateTime.ParseExact, System.DateTime.TryParse and System.DateTime.TryParseExact.

if you need to get month from textbox with format like "yyyy-MM"

C#

textBox1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM");
DateTime dt =DateTime.ParseExact(textBox1.Text, "yyyy-MM", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string month = dt.Month.ToString();

References
DateTime.ParseExact Method[^]
DateTime.Month Property[^]

Or if you need to set textbox text to current month, try with Month property of DateTime

C#

textBox1.Text = DateTime.Now.Month.ToString();

C# DateTime.Month[^]
