It's not an int but a string, however, use MM

for months, otherwise it's minutes:

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("201411", "yyyyMM", null); // null means current-culture


If you want to use year / month DateTime.Year

/ DateTime.Month

:

int year = dt.Year;
int month = dt.Month;
+3

A possible solution is to simply create DateTime

:

  int source = 201411;
  // You can't remove the day from DateTime, so let it be the 1st Nov 2014
  DateTime result = new DateTime(source / 100, source % 100, 1);


To output DateTime as "2014 November"

, use formatting like:

  //TODO: Put the right culture 
  String text = result.ToString("yyyy MMMM", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+2
