How do I know which day is today? 1

[tg2003]

I'm looking for a built-in function that tells me what day is today. I mean to its name - Sunday, Monday and so forth.

I'm using VB.NET 2008

Is there anything?
Or should I use some function that can calculate it by the full date?

Thanks in advance!

Try:

DateTime.Today.ToString("dddd")

Thank you!

Just to understand it: Why 4 times 'd' letter? What does it mean?

If you look at the Help file for date formats, you will see something like:

d = day number (2, 5, 17)
dd = day number with preceeding 0 (02, 05, 17)
ddd = day name abreviated (Tue, Thu, Sat)
dddd = full day name (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)

Hope that helps.

Alternatively you can

Date.Today.DayOfWeek.ToString

that will be equal to

DateTime.Today.ToString("dddd")
