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

try:

CultureInfo english = new CultureInfo("en-US");
string sunday = (english.DateTimeFormat.DayNames[(int)DayOfWeek.Sunday]).Substring(0, 2);

Or:

dateTimeFormats = new CultureInfo("en-US").DateTimeFormat;
string sunday = (dateValue.ToString("ffffdd", dateTimeFormats)).Substring(0, 2);
