Here is what I am trying to do:
Given a date, a day of the week, and an integer n, determine whether the date is the nth day of the month.
The answer is from this website. Copy/pasted here in case that site is ever lost.
public static DateTime FindTheNthSpecificWeekday(int year, int month,int nth, System.DayOfWeek day_of_the_week)
{
// validate month value
if(month < 1 || month > 12)
{
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Invalid month value.");
}
// validate the nth value
if(nth < 0 || nth > 5)
{
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Invalid nth value.");
}
// start from the first day of the month
DateTime dt = new DateTime(year, month, 1);
// loop until we find our first match day of the week
while(dt.DayOfWeek != day_of_the_week)
{
dt = dt.AddDays(1);
}
if(dt.Month != month)
{
// we skip to the next month, we throw an exception
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(string.Format("The given month has less than {0} {1}s", nth, day_of_the_week));
}
// Complete the gap to the nth week
dt = dt.AddDays((nth - 1) * 7);
return dt;
}
