Count number of Mondays in a given date range

Question

Given a date range, I need to know how many Mondays (or Tuesdays, Wednesdays, etc) are in that range.

I am currently working in C#.

Answer 1

private System.Int32 CountDaysOfWeek(System.DayOfWeek dayOfWeek, System.DateTime date1, System.DateTime date2)
{
  System.DateTime EndDate;
  System.DateTime StartDate;

  if (date1 > date2)
  {
    StartDate = date2;
    EndDate = date1;
  }
  else
  {
    StartDate = date1;
    EndDate = date2;
  }

  while (StartDate.DayOfWeek != dayOfWeek)
    StartDate = StartDate.AddDays(1);

  return EndDate.Subtract(StartDate).Days / 7 + 1;
}
