How to loop through days of week

I need to loop through each day of the week (monday tues...) and compare the day to a string. I know I can manually add each day of week to a string array, but that's not what prefer. Any help would be much appreciated.

Update

Thanks to Michael Liu the code goes as follows: First on top of page:

Imports System.Globalization

then:

For Each d In CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.DayNames
   If d.ToString = "my string" Then

   End If
Next

You don't need a loop:

Dim dayToTest as String = "Monday"
If [Enum].GetNames(GetType(DayOfWeek)).ToList().Contains(dayToTest) Then
    ' etc
End If

Import System.Globalization and loop through the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.DayNames (localized) or CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.DateTimeFormat.DayNames (English) array.
