If I understand correctly, the steps I'd take are:

1) Get the date of the previous Monday

2) Get the user's date

3) Check if the user's date is after the previous Monday (in which case show the day)

//Get the date of the previous Monday
DateTime prevMonday = DateTime.Now;
while(prevMonday.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Monday)
      prevMonday = prevMonday.AddDays(-1);


//get user's date 
DateTime aa = Convert.ToDateTime(rr.detail);

//check if the user's date is after the Monday
if (aa > prevMonday && aa <= DateTime.Now.Date)    
    Console.WriteLine(aa.DayOfWeek);
else
    Console.WriteLine(aa);
