Day Name

[Richard]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me an easy way to get the name of the day if I supply a
date? For example if I enter the 1/July/2004 I want it to return a
Thrusday. I know there is a function (I think) but I've looked everywhere
and can't find it.

Thanks
Richard

DateTime.DayOfWeek?? This will not return Thursday, but rather a enum value for the Day of Week.

And of course you can then pass that enum value to the DateTimeFormatInfo.GetDayName function to get a culture specific description of the Day of week.

Hi Richard,

You can try it this will work for you

MessageBox.Show(CDate("1/July/2004").DayOfWeek.ToString)

However it returns Thursday not Thrusday.

I hope this helps?
