What have you tried so far?

Have a counter for Saturday and another counter for Sunday.
Loop through all the days and if that day is one or the other, add to the appropriate counter.

                DateTime DateInQuestion = DateTime.Now;
                if (DateInQuestion.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday)
                {
                    // Increment Saturday counter
                }
                else if (DateInQuestion.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
               {
                   // Increment Sunday counter
                }

Maybe you could get it from the total number of days between those two dates?

double numberOfDaysElapsed = (date2 - date1).TotalDays;

Note that you need to take into account which week days your dates actually are (e.g. Monday to Wednesday is not the same as Friday to Sunday).

Exactly. There are several ways to do this. Counters looping through, or formula based on the days of the week for the starting date etc. Which is why I asked what the OP had tried so far... If he actually tried anything at all before asking for help.
