Getting the day of a date

I have a series of dates formatted as:

26/03/1992
12/06/2010
13/01/1995

etc... it's in DD/MM/YYYY. I need to find the day like "Tuesday", "Monday" etc out of them.

I know I need to parse the date or something but I'm unsure how to go about this.

The best thing it works for me in vb 2010 is

I add timer and enabled it then i put it like that

Label6.Text = Format(Now, "dddd/dd")

"dd" gives me the day Num. "dddd" gives me the name of the day

Convert the date into a date datatype, then use the format function. This displays monday:

Dim d As Date
d = "11/23/2009"
MsgBox(Format(d, "dddd"))

You could also get a numeric day of the week using d.DayOfWeek.

You want to look at the format strings for the ToString method. MyDate.ToString("dddd") will get you what you want.

Have a look at the documentation of the DateTime members Parse, TryParse, DayOfWeek and ToString.

You can cast it as a DateTime and use the DayOfWeek property which returns a DayOfWeek enumerator.

Not sure in VB.NET but in C# it's like

DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek or DateTime.Parse(theDateString).DayOfWeek
