Solution 3

Parse the input date string into DateTime type, and use DayOfWeek property:

string day = DateTime.Parse("10/09/2013").DayOfWeek.ToString();

or if you are taking input in a textbox control then:

string day = DateTime.Parse(TextBox1.Text).DayOfWeek.ToString();

Output: day = Wednesday

Solution 2

Use the .DayOfWeek property

See DateTime.DayOfWeek Property [^]

VB Example

VB

Console.WriteLine("The day of the week for {0:d} is {1}.", dt, dt.DayOfWeek.ToString())

Result:The day of the week for 5/1/2003 is Thursday.

C# Example

C#

Console.WriteLine("The day of the week for {0:d} is {1}.", dt, dt.DayOfWeek);

Result:The day of the week for 5/1/2003 is Thursday.
