take month data in datatable dt

then do the following:

for(int i=0;i<dt.rows.count;i++)>
{
dropdown.Items.Add(dt.Rows[i]["Months"].ToString()+" Months");
}

The below snippet might help you:

C#

DataTable dt=GetMonthsFromDB();//Some method you have written to get the data from the DB
dropdownlist1.DataSource=dt;
dropdownlist1.DataTextField=dt.Columns[0].ToString() + "Months";
dropdownlist1.DataValueField=dt.COlumns[0].ToString();
dropdownlist1.DataBind();

The above snippet assumes that you have only one column coming in your datatable dt, if no, then you can change the column index accordingly..This should work..try it..
