How can I get the DateTime for the start of the week?

Question

How do I find the start of the week (both Sunday and Monday) knowing just the current time in C#?

Something like:

DateTime.Now.StartWeek(Monday);

Step 1: Create a static class

  public static class TIMEE
{
    public static DateTime StartOfWeek(this DateTime dt, DayOfWeek startOfWeek)
    {
        int diff = (7 + (dt.DayOfWeek - startOfWeek)) % 7;
        return dt.AddDays(-1 * diff).Date;
    }
    public static DateTime EndOfWeek(this DateTime dt, DayOfWeek startOfWeek)
    {
        int diff = (7 - (dt.DayOfWeek - startOfWeek)) % 7;
        return dt.AddDays(1 * diff).Date;
    }
}

Step2: Use this class to get both start and end day of the week

 DateTime dt =TIMEE.StartOfWeek(DateTime.Now ,DayOfWeek.Monday);
        DateTime dt1 = TIMEE.EndOfWeek(DateTime.Now, DayOfWeek.Sunday);
