Members

	Member name	Description

	Monday	Indicates Monday.

	Sunday	Indicates Sunday.

Remarks

The DayOfWeek enumeration represents the day of the week in calendars that have seven days per week. This enumeration ranges from zero, indicating Sunday, to six, indicating Saturday.

This enumeration is useful when it is desirable to have a strongly typed specification of the day of the week. For example, this enumeration is the type of the property value for the DateTime.DayOfWeek property.

Example

The following example demonstrates the DateTime.DayOfWeek property and the DayOfWeek enumeration.

C++

Copy

// This example demonstrates the DateTime.DayOfWeek property
using System;

class Sample 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
// Assume the current culture is en-US.
// Create a DateTime for the first of May, 2003.
    DateTime dt = new DateTime(2003, 5, 1);
    Console.WriteLine("Is Thursday the day of the week for {0:d}?: {1}", 
                       dt, dt.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Thursday);
    Console.WriteLine("The day of the week for {0:d} is {1}.", dt, dt.DayOfWeek);
    }
}
/*
This example produces the following results:

Is Thursday the day of the week for 5/1/2003?: True
The day of the week for 5/1/2003 is Thursday.
*/

Copy

// This example demonstrates the DateTime.DayOfWeek property
import System.*;

class Sample
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Assume the current culture is en-US.
        // Create a DateTime for the first of May, 2003.
        DateTime dt = new DateTime(2003, 5, 1);
        Console.WriteLine("Is Thursday the day of the week for {0:d}?: {1}", 
            dt, (System.Boolean)(dt.get_DayOfWeek() == DayOfWeek.Thursday));
        Console.WriteLine("The day of the week for {0:d} is {1}.", dt, 
            dt.get_DayOfWeek());
    } //main
} //Sample
/*
This example produces the following results:

Is Thursday the day of the week for 5/1/2003?: True
The day of the week for 5/1/2003 is Thursday.
