Week support in date classes

JH
Why there is not full week support in DateTime classes
in .NET. For instance windows`s normal calendar control
knows how to show week numbers, but you can`t ask that
from DateTime class.

Also here in Finland first week in year can be week 52,
week 53 or week 1. Also last week of the year can be any
of those. So there can be two "week 1"`s in same year
(they can be distinquished by using month number).

DateTime dtDate = DateTime::Curre ntDate;
int iWeek = dtDate.WeekNumb er

Look at Calendar.GetWee kOfYear, which addresses both of these issues.

Could someone, anyone please tell me what I need to amend, to get this function to take Sunday as the first day of the week? I amended the Weekday parts to vbSunday (in my code, not the code attached), yet when I ran it for 28/09/2003 (UK date format) it returned Week 39. I would have expected it to return Week 40. However, I'm really stuck and my head is busting over this, so any pointers would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks...

Hi all, I am using office XP and have a question regarding the format function. I am using wk:format(.,"WW") to show what week a certain date is. The problem is that a week runs from Sun to Sat in Access and our warehouse week runs from Sat to Fri. This is making my "week to date" calculations a day out. Is there a way that I can specify which day a new week starts on within this query???? Many thanks in advance,

I need to convert the normal calendar to show the week no., the period no. and the financial year. The financial year format is as follows:- Date start: 2 May, 2005 7 days a week, 4 weeks a period and 13 periods a year. normally 52 weeks per year but one 53-week a year every 6 years. The 53th week is included in period 13. Can someone advise any idea how to construct such conversion.

What's the best way to summarize data by week? I have a set of timestamped records, and I want a report with one row for each week in the time period, including zero rows if there are weeks with no activity. I was planning to use ISO weeks because datetime has a convenient .isocalendar() method, but I want each output row to have a label like this: 2006 week 5 (Feb) However, to get the month (of the Thursday of that week) I have to

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
