Solution 1

The dataname function expects a date as second parameter, try this trick:

SQL

SELECT DATENAME(MONTH, DATEADD(MONTH, monthid - 1, CAST('2014-01-01' AS DATETIME)))
FROM table1

That's because DATENAME doesn't accept a month number - it takes a DATE value. So when you provide it with a number between 1 and 12, it assumes that is the number of days into the year...
You could "fiddle" it by ensuring the month is a zero based value and multiplying it by 30, but it's a kludge and I don't like it much...

Solution 3

you can also do it from code behind

as below
using System.Globalization

C#

DateTimeFormatInfo m = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
                string Month=m.GetMonthName(int Month_No)
