Try this: 

 int dayOfWeek;
 dayOfWeek = (int)System.DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek - (int)System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.FirstDayOfWeek + 1

This little one-liner works independent of locale, with always Friday == 5

int x = (int)System.Globalization.CultureInfo
        .InvariantCulture.Calendar.GetDayOfWeek(DateTime.Now);

Yes, check DateTime.DayOfWeek.

Please note this depends on the regional settings (here in Europe Monday is the first day of the week).
