[RESOLVED] WeekdayName -> Date.DayOfWeek vs Weekday() different

[Static]

Dt = 7/16/2013 Tuesday....

Dim DN As String = WeekdayName(Weekday(dT))
DN = Tuesday

Dim DN As String = WeekdayName(dT.DayOfWeek)
DN=Monday

Any clue why?

dT.DayOfWeek should already return the weekday name, but since you are using it as a parameter it passes the integer value to WeekdayName, which has a different set of indexes than DayOfWeek. DayOfWeek integer values are 0 - 6, which represent the days of the week, while WeekdayName is 0 - 7, with 0 being a flag for the system first day of the week.

edit: Sorry I read it wrong, it does return an integer, but the indexes are still different. The first example you listed should be the correct way

You do not need to use WeekdayName.

        Dim DN As String = Dt.DayOfWeek.ToString
