    How to get Week Day from Date using VB.Net


    Hi,

    DateVal.DayOfWe ek returns an integer value(0-6) that represents days from sun-sat.

    Is there a way to get the Day(like sunday, monday) from a Date Variable using VB.Net without using a switch case after getting the integer value from DateVal.DayOfWe ek, some sort of direct way.

    Thanks
    Kiran

      So you have an integer, and you want a text, representing the day?
      You could define a string-array holding all 7 names and use the
      number as index into that array.

      Or more directly (but english only):
      DayOfWeek does *not* return an integer, it returns a value from the DayOfWeek
      enumeration (which can translate into that integer)! If you do a "ToString() " on that enum,
      you should end up with the dayname.

          There is of course a built-in array for this purpose in System.Globaliz ation,

          CultureInfo.Cur rentCulture.Dat eTimeFormat.Day Names( dayOfWeekNumber )
          [color=blue]
          > If you do a "ToString() " on that enum, you should end up with the dayname.[/color]

          You're correct that the Enum's identifiers are in English only. However, if
          he calls ToString( ) on the original DateTime he can get the day's name in
          his current thread's language:

          dateTime.ToStri ng( "dddd") ' dddd is the date/time format for the day

          On an en-US web server this will be "Monday," whereas on an es-ES server
          this will be "lunes."
