DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString() with CultureInfo

Question

I have the code:

DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString() 

That give's me the english day of the week name, I want to have the german version, how to add CultureInfo here to get the german day of the week name?

Answer 1

var culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE"); var day = culture.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek); 

Answer 2

You can use the DateTimeFormat.DayNames property of the german CultureInfo. For example:

CultureInfo german = new CultureInfo("de-DE"); string sunday = german.DateTimeFormat.DayNames[(int)DayOfWeek.Sunday];
