                   int month = DateTime.Now.Month;

                   DateTime StartDate = new DateTime(year,month,days);

                   DateTime EndDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(6);
                   int DayInterval = 1;

                   List<DateTime> dateList = new List<DateTime>();
                   while (StartDate <= EndDate)
                   {


                       StartDate = StartDate.AddDays(DayInterval);
                       dateList.Add(StartDate);

First of all, what do you want to achieve? Your code has so many problems that it makes no sense to trust it.

Please see my comment to the question. It is not clear what you are trying to achieve. I can only answer how to skip some days, but it will work only if if you have some loop where some variable (loop variable) are actually assigned to the time with the day of weeks to be skipped, for example, if you increment by one day or less.

Not sure if you want that, but to illustrate just the "jump", it could be anything like

C#

System.DateTime currentDate = //...
System.DateTime finalDate = //...
while (currentDate <= finalDate) { // just for example
    if (currentDate.DayOfWeek == System.DayOfWeek.Saturday ||
        currentDate.DayOfWeek == System.DayOfWeek.Sunday)
           continue; // this is your "jump"
    DoSomethingWithYourTime(currentDate);
    currentDate = IncrementTimeSomehow(currentDate); // for example AddDays...
}

I hope you got the idea, not apply some logic. If you just need to count days not counting weekends (I'm not sure), you would need to count number of full weeks and multiply by 5. At the beginning and the end, you can have incomplete weeks, for them, you would need to check if Sunday or Saturday fall in the interval of each of incomplete weeks, so you will need to subtract 0, 1 or two days from each. If you deal with just few days (say, a month of few month, an year), just iterating by one day could be simpler. Just use logic.

Solution 1

C#

You need 6 days.

int DaysCount = 0;
while(DaysCount < 6)
{
    if (StarDate.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Saturday 
        && StarDate.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Sunday)
    {
        dateList.Add(SartDate);
        DaysCount++;
    }
}

Try this, assuming startDate may also fall on weekends:

using System;
					
public class Program
{
	public static void Main()
	{
		DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2015,3,24 ); // DateTime.Now;
		DateTime endDate = startDate;
		
		for (int i=0;i < 7; i++){
			int dayOfWeek = (int) endDate.DayOfWeek;
			int add = 1;
			if (dayOfWeek == 6 || dayOfWeek == 7) 
			{
				add++; // skip one more day on weekend
			}
			endDate = endDate.AddDays(add);
		}		
			Console.WriteLine(endDate);			
	}
}
