Ask yourself, if CancelType is a string "[CancelType] [nvarchar]", why are you trying to query it as if it were an integer, "Canceltype=1"?

Solution 1

Try changing the column name "value" to TheValue. SQL may be interpreting this as a keyword. I could not find it in a list but you never know. You could also try enclosing the column names in []

select [canceltype],[value] from canceltype where companyid=1 and geolocationid= 1 and Canceltype=1
