Hi Guys,

Ignore this post. I figured how to find the third friday of the month. Let me know if someone needs it.

Thanks for looking...

Always good to post your solutions, even if you find them yourself. The next person after you may find that useful information...

As an example, here is one example. Probably not the most efficient and it does not have error checking to ensure you do not move into a new month (so if you ask for the 7th Friday of a month, you end up with the 7th Friday after the first day of the month you input) but it does the job.

//usage:    this.textBox2.Text = GetWeekdayOfMonth(Convert.ToDateTime(this.textBox1.Text), DayOfWeek.Friday, 3).ToShortDateString(); 

        public DateTime GetWeekdayOfMonth(DateTime inputDate, DayOfWeek weekday, int weekNumber)
        {
            DateTime startDate;
            DateTime currentDate;
            int weekdayCount = 0;

            startDate = inputDate;
            currentDate = new DateTime(startDate.Year, startDate.Month, 1);

            while (weekdayCount < weekNumber)
            {
                if (currentDate.DayOfWeek == weekday)
                {
                    weekdayCount++;
                    if (weekdayCount == weekNumber)
                    {
                        break;
                    }
                }
                currentDate = currentDate.AddDays(1);
            }

            return currentDate;
        }

here is what I did:

    public static DateTime GetThirdFriday(DateTime sdate)
    {
                DateTime thirdFriday = new DateTime(sdate.Year, sdate.Month, 1);
        while (thirdFriday.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Friday)
        {
            thirdFriday = thirdFriday.AddDays(1);
        }
        thirdFriday = thirdFriday.AddDays(14);    
       return thirdFriday;
     }

Nice....Your solution is much more concise and easier to read.
