How to format a day name to short day name, i.e if monday means "mon" tuesday "tue"

[raficomps]

I am using dynamic controls, in that i want day name to be short instead of Monday "Mon" like this. How can I do it dynamically?

Dim lblNewDate As Date = Date.ParseExact(lblDate.Text.ToString(), "dd/mm/yyyy", System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo)
            If isDataAvailable = 1 Then
                dayName = planDay
            Else
                dayName = DateAndTime.WeekdayName(DateAndTime.Weekday(lblNewDate))
            End If

            lblDayName.ID = "lblDayName" & numOfRows
            lblDayName.Text = dayName

In VB6 (which is what this forum is about) you'd simply use the Format$() function. For VB.Net you really should post here.

Should still work in .net

Format(Weekday(Date), "ddd")
