title: Viewing events from SQL table by month in a list view on website
body: <p>I am attempting to create a list view on my website which shows events from a table.</p>
  
  <p>This is how my table looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Event Name | Event Description | Starts At | Ends At
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are several catches though:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>The list should show events by month from the database. I will have a drop-down list above the list which contains all the months of the year. When the user selects a particular month, he should be able to view all the events uploaded in the database in that month in the list.</p></li>
  <li><p>The list should also have the feature of being exported into an Excel format document which will contain the list of these events.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I googled extensively and tried building this on my own but I keep getting errors. I don't want anyone giving me the code (you don't have to my job for me) but I would be grateful if you could give me direction and guidelines as to how I can do this.</p>
  
  <p>I am new to ASP.NET so please use Muggle words. :D</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
