Getting the Day of Week from a DateTimePicker

I have a 2d array and if the date selected using the dateTimePicker is a monday I want to set the row index to 1. If the date selected is a tuesday I want to set the row index to 2... I have tried do this using the code below but it doesn't seem to work:

       if (dateTimePicker.Value == DateTime.DayOfWeek.Monday)
       r = 1;  
       if (dateTimePicker.Value == DateTime.DayOfWeek.tuesday)
       r = 2;

Using a Cast

int r = (int)dateTimePicker1.Value.DayOfWeek;

dateTimePicker.Value will contain a full DateTime. You're comparing that against a constant. Try comparing dateTimePicker.Value.DayOfWeek to the enum constants.

According to Microsoft's documentation, DateTimePicker.Value is of type DateTime.

Take the DayOfWeek property to get the value you're looking for.

Your statement should look like:

if ( dateTimePicker.Value.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday )
