If you looking to retrieve the day of week from date you can try the below approach

C#

DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(date.ToString("dddd"));

Refer How to: Extract the Day of the Week from a Specific Date[^]

[Update]
Create an enum called days

C#

enum Days
{
    sunday,
    monday,
    tuesday,
    wednesday,
    thrusday,
    friday,
    saturday,
};

You can then use this enum value as a input parameter and retrieve the date of week day using the below logic.

C#

Days weekday = Days.sunday;
DateTime Today = DateTime.Today;
DateTime finalDate;

if ((int)Today.DayOfWeek < (int)weekday)
{
    finalDate = Today.Date.AddDays((int)weekday - (int)Today.DayOfWeek);
}
else
{
    finalDate = Today.Date.AddDays((int)weekday - (int)Today.DayOfWeek + 7);
}

Hi dear,

I think you need 'Friday - December - 2012'.

Example :

dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = System.DateTime.Today.ToString("dddd-MMMM-yyyy");

hi dear,

C#

string Days = "Friday";  // Friday is week day
string dayName = dateTimePicker1.Value.DayOfWeek.ToString();

if (Days == dayName)
{
   // week day
}
else
{
  // Not week day
}
