storing the date in a variable

[sthmpsn1]

I have the following code which I want to store the month number in the variable but doesn't work. Like today that variable would store 8 in it. How would I do this??

Dim today as string
today = month(date())

try

Dim strToday as String
strToday = DateTime.Now.Month

I believe the Month(Date) returns an integer. I would put something like:

Dim k As integer
k = Month(Now)

...Alcar's solution is perfect for a string.
