You can set the DateTime object to a specific date by creating it with an initial date value. If you want it to be based from today rather than a specified date, just subtract a week.

Perhaps this:

DateTime today = DateTime.Today;
int difference = today.DayOfWeek - DayOfWeek.Sunday;
DateTime lastSunday = today.AddDays(-difference).AddDays(-(7 * 1));
                                                          //   ^ number of weeks to remove

This basically says, "Go to the start of the week, then remove another 7 days".

How about:

DayOfWeek dayToFind = DayOfWeek.Sunday;
today.AddDays(-1 * (int)today.DayOfWeek).AddDays(-7).AddDays((int)dayToFind);

The first AddDays backs up to the start of this week, then AddDays(-7) backs up to the start of last week, then the third AddDays advances to the day you are looking for.
