Bad idea. Consider globalization.

Make a Scaler Valued SQL function and call this function in SP which will convert number to month......

I think you have to tag SQL server in place of C#...

Solution 4

Try to merge this query into your existing query where the month is coming.

This query will convert number of month to name of month.

Now there is no need to conversion on codebehind page, no code required.

Select DateName( month , DateAdd( month , @MonthNumber , -1 ) )

Solution 1

hi .
you can use enum.
define enum:

C#

public enum Month
        {
            April = 4,
            May = 5
        }

and save enum values into database then if you want to read month from your database
you can use Reflection or cast saved values to enum correspinding values.
i hope this help you

Please, read comments to the question.

Let's say, your stored procedure returns list of strings ("04", "05", etc.). So, you can use Linq to "convert" it into month names:

C#

List<string> months = new List<string>(){"04", "05", "01", "02", "11", "10"};

var qry = months.Select(a=>new{myMonth = (new DateTime(2015, Convert.ToInt32(a),1)).ToString("MMMM")});
foreach(var m in qry)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0}", m);
}

Hi,

C#

var monthinNumber = new List<int>() { 04, 05, 01, 02, 11, 10 };
               var monthNames = monthinNumber.Select(item => CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(item)).ToList();

thanks

I have tested this function...If your requirement is same as i understood then
this function will help you for sure..
Call this function in SP and pass parameter in this function whatever you want..
Parameter Data type must be int...
All of these Which one find your Requirement use that...
SQL Function is below

SQL

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Demo1]
(
    @MonthNumber int
)
RETURNS varchar(8)
AS
BEGIN
    Declare @RDate varchar(max)
    Declare @NDate varchar(max)
    set @RDate= (@Date)
    IF(@Date<> 0)
        SET @NDate=SUBSTRING('JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC ', (@RDate * 4) - 3, 3)
    ELSE
        SET @NDate='-'

    RETURN @NDate

END

OR You Can also use this way

Select DateName( month , DateAdd( month , @MonthNumber , 0 ) - 1 )
OR
Select DateName( month , DateAdd( month , @MonthNumber , -1 ) )

Thanks
