How can I get the DateTime for the start of the week?

Question

How do I find the start of the week (both Sunday and Monday) knowing just the current time in C#?

Something like:

DateTime.Now.StartWeek(Monday);

Modulo in C# works bad for -1mod7 (should be 6, c# returns -1) so... "oneliner" solution to this will look like this :)

private static DateTime GetFirstDayOfWeek(DateTime date)
    {
        return date.AddDays(-(((int)date.DayOfWeek - 1) - (int)Math.Floor((double)((int)date.DayOfWeek - 1) / 7) * 7));
    }
