Option Strict On
Option Explicit On

Imports System.Globalization

Module modMain

Sub Main()
Dim Month As Integer = 1
Dim dfi As New DateTimeFormatInfo()

Console.WriteLine(dfi.MonthNames(Month))
End Sub
End Module

Or....

Dim Month As New Date(2003, 1, 1)
Console.WriteLine(Format(Month, "MMMM"))

If you use "MMMM" as the format, the type of the passed value must be Date.
An Integer values does not contain a month part. :)

Instead:

strmonth =
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(
i)

Apart from Tom's suggestion,

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo

is shorter. :-/
