Answer 1

You can find the solution for how to get the first and last date of the current or last week as per the passed argument date and now you can also get the date of the first day and last day of the same week of the previous year.

You can also change some settings to change your first weekday to get results as your need.

Suppose your weekday starts from Monday except for Sunday, so what you need to do is that just change the switch cases and go on to get your desired result.

public DateTime GetFirstDateOfCurrentWeek(DateTime dtDate)
{
 //In this function we assumed that week start from sunday and end on saturday
    int no = 0;
    switch (dtDate.DayOfWeek.ToString())
    {
        case "Sunday":
            no = 0;
            break;
        case "Monday":
            no = 1;
            break;
        case "Tuesday":
            no = 2;
            break;
        case "Wednesday":
            no = 3;
            break;
        case "Thursday":
            no = 4;
            break;
        case "Friday":
            no = 5;
            break;
        case "Saturday":
            no = 6;
            break;
        default:
            no = 0;
            break;
    }
    return dtDate.AddDays(-no);
 }

public DateTime GetLastDateOfCurrentWeek(DateTime dtDate)
{
    int no = 0;
    switch (dtDate.DayOfWeek.ToString())
    {
        case "Saturday":
            no = 0;
            break;
        case "Friday":
            no = 1;
            break;
        case "Thursday":
            no = 2;
            break;
        case "Wednesday":
            no = 3;
            break;
        case "Tuesday":
            no = 4;

            no = 5;
            break;
        case "Sunday":
            no = 6;
            break;
        default:
            no = 0;
            break;
    }
    return dtDate.AddDays(no);
}

    return GetFirstDateOfCurrentWeek(dtDate).AddDays(-7);
