Comparing DayOfWeek For A DateTime

[David P. Donahue]

Probably a simple question:

I have a function that receives as an argument a DateTime value. One of
the things I want to do is check to see if it's a weekday. So I do the
following (sorry for any wrapping):

if ((dateTimeStart.DayOfWeek != DateTime.DayOfWeek.Saturday) &&
(dateTimeStart.DayOfWeek != DateTime.DayOfWeek.Sunday))
{
...
}

But I get a compile error saying that an object reference is required,
which I assume is referring to the references to Saturday and Sunday,
since dateTimeStart is an object reference. How should I form this so
that I can compare my DateTime's DayOfWeek values with the enumerations?

How about just:

if ((dateTimeStart.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Saturday) &&
(dateTimeStart.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Sunday))

Sure enough, that's doing the trick. Thanks!
