I would like to format a DateTime to a string containing the month name abbreviated and the date for use in axis labels in a graph.
The default DateTime format strings do not contain abbreviated month. I guess there is no standard but I could take a substring of the first 3 characters of the month name and replace this into the MonthDay format. The reason I would use MonthDay is that the ordering of month and date is locale dependent.
Does anyone have a better idea?
