I'm writing a timecard program for our workplace. I was trying to get the day of the week as a number (today being Friday, I was looking for a '5'). I couldn't find much info on Google, aside from some article talking about something unrelated. I saw a snippit of code there. Too easy, I thought:
int dayofweek = (int)DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek;
And that's it. *slaps forehead* I suppose I should have tried that first since it's a two-second check. Oh well. Since I was searching Google without much luck, I hope to get this out there so others might see it.
As for finding a specific day of the week, I went with this for now:
int dayofweek = (int)DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek;
int offset = 0;
DateTime thisFriday;
if (dayofweek < 5)
offset = 5 - dayofweek;
else
offset = dayofweek - 5;
thisFriday = DateTime.Now.AddDays(offset);
I spent about 5 minutes doing that. It calculates when the next upcoming Friday is (if the current date is Friday, then it shows that). I've set it in to a for loop to spit out a month of Fridays by combining it with AddDays. As always, let me know if there's a better way.

| Error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'System.DayOfWeek'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) |

| Checkout Enum.Parse... for the other direction |

I resolve with
(Int32)Enum.Parse(typeof(DayOfWeek), dpartenza.DayOfWeek.ToString())
