Getting a short day name

Question

I was wondering on how to write a method that will return me a string which will contain the short day name, example:

    public static string GetShortDayName(Da         


        

Answer 1

The closest you can get is use a custom date and time format string - specifically ffffd.

This will return an abbreviation - you can substring the result to get to 2 characters.

You will need to use a DateTime with a day corresponding to the day of week you wish.
