Get day from DateTime using C#

Question

Silly question. Given a date in a datetime and I know it's tuesday for instance how do i know its tue=2 and mon=1 etc...

Thanks

Answer 1

You are looking for the DayOfWeek property.
Then, as Dan suggests in the comment below, just look at the integer value of the enum to get the day as integer:

int d = (int)System.DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek

Answer 2

DayOfWeek is an Enum. To get the integer instead of the string representation you can cast it

int i = (int)d.DayOfWeek

Answer 3

if you want to find out the name of the day, you can do this as follows:

DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek

Response.Write(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek);

Answer 5

DateTime.DayOfWeek

Answer 6

Yes DateTime has DayOfWeek() method.

Answer 7

I use:

int day = (int)System.DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek;
string dayoftheweek;

In the public partial class Form :

System.Windows.Forms.Form class 

(For a c# winforms application)

Answer 8

 DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime (txtMaxDate.Value); /*Store date in dt */
int day = dt.Day; /*Get date as (01-01-2019 then it will give 01 as day)*/
