Get day from DateTime using C#

Question

Silly question. Given a date in a datetime and I know it's tuesday for instance how do i know its tue=2 and mon=1 etc...

Thanks

Answer 1

You are looking for the DayOfWeek property.
Then, as Dan suggests in the comment below, just look at the integer value of the enum to get the day as integer:

int d = (int)System.DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek

Answer 2

DayOfWeek is an Enum. To get the integer instead of the string representation you can cast it

int i = (int)d.DayOfWeek

Answer 3

if you want to find out the name of the day, you can do this as follows:

DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek

Response.Write(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek);
