you could try
format(now(),"d ddd") if you want the full day
format(now(),"d dd") for a shorter version of the day
format(now(),"d d") for the day in nrs like 02

Do you mean the weekday or the day number? To get the day:

Textbox1.Text = Date.Now.Day.To String

- or, shorter -

Textbox1.Text = Date.Today.ToSt ring
Have also a look at the other members of the Date/DateTime data type.

Concerning the Format function EricJ mentioned, have a look at the function
documentation.
