How to find the 3rd Friday in a month with C#?

Question

Given a date (of type DateTime), how do I find the 3rd Friday in the month of that date?

Answer 1

Slightly more optimized version:

    DateTime Now = DateTime.Now;

    DateTime TempDate = new DateTime(Now.Year, Now.Month, 1);

    // find first friday
    while (TempDate.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Friday)
        TempDate = TempDate.AddDays(1);

    // add two weeks
    TempDate = TempDate.AddDays(14);
