SELECT MONTH(MyDateField) + ' ' + YEAR(MyDateField) AS ShowDate FROM ...

Will give you month and year. But it will give the month as a number, e.g. 2 for February. I don't know if there's any function in T-SQL that will give you the NAME of the month.

But you can easily do it in code:

Assuming that you have a DateTime variable, myDate, containing then date, you simply do:

string showMonth = myDate.ToString("MMM yyyy");

Good luck!

Solution 3

DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("2/1/2011 12:00:00 AM");
string date = dt.ToString("MMM yyyy");

Amazing the things that can be found when reading the documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k494fzbf.aspx[^]

This code will show "01 2011" - Not "JAN 2011"!

Yep, mistyped. The CP editor doesn't have a syntax checker. Yet

Corrected

Mark how come I do this syntax checker on line while editing in CP fields? Because I'm using SeaMonkey for a Browser, Firefox should provide it, too. Could it help you?

You'll need to format the Date like this:

C#

var formatted = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM yyyy");
