How to get the day name from a selected date?

c#, datetime

Solution

//default locale
System.DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString();
//localized version
System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd");

To make the answer more complete:

DayOfWeek MSDN article

If localization is important, you should use the "dddd" string format as Fredrik pointed out - MSDN "dddd" format article

Problem

I have this : `Datetime.Now();` or `23/10/2009` I want this : `Friday` For local date-time (GMT-5) and using Gregorian calendar.
