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);
         


        

Answer 1

if you want saturday or sunday or any day of week but not exceeding current week(Sat-Sun) I got you covered with this piece of code.

public static DateTime GetDateInCurrentWeek(this DateTime date, DayOfWeek day)
{
    var temp = date;
    var limit = (int)date.DayOfWeek;
    var returnDate = DateTime.MinValue;

    if (date.DayOfWeek == day) return date;

    for (int i = limit; i < 6; i++)
    {
        temp = temp.AddDays(1);

        if (day == temp.DayOfWeek)
        {
            returnDate = temp;
            break;
        }
    }
    if (returnDate == DateTime.MinValue)
    {
        for (int i = limit; i > -1; i++)
        {
            date = date.AddDays(-1);

            if (day == date.DayOfWeek)
            {
                returnDate = date;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return returnDate;
}
