IMO, you should use some DateTime control instead of a TextBox to enter DateTime. till then you need to convert TextBox Text to DateTime object first.

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(dateTextbox.Text, 
                                  "YYYY-MM-DD", 
                                  CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

FYI, there are numerous ways to convert String to DateTime (google will help). All have their pros and cons. Use which best suits you.

Use DateTime.ParseExact to parse your string into a DateTime

string dateInput = dateTextbox.Text; //"2016-10-04"
DateTime dtResult = DateTime.ParseExact(dateInput, "yyyy-MM-dd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
DayOfWeek today = dtResult.DayOfWeek;
