DateTime.DayOfWeek localisation

Gerben van Loon

Hi there, hope someone can help me on this:

DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek is always returning the american day names like
"Monday, Saturday". Even when my CurrentCulture is set to my localized
culture. I like to have my localized daynames returned. How can I do this?

greets,

Gerben.

Write your own class which can read the culture and translate the DayofWeek
according what you have read.

Hope this will help

That is a property that returns an enum - you cannot localize the items in
an enum. You should be using the DayNames property of the
System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo, which is localized based on the
current culture.
