Get day of week

[Marisa_Ontiveros1 (Marisa Ontiveros)]

I have a process in which I have to obtain the day of the week (in Spanish) and if it is Monday, subtract 3 days.

How can I do it?

I have this code

weekDay(string)= culture.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(now.DayOfWeek).ToString

But it’s giving me an error.

I have created the culture variable of type CultureInfo

But when I execute it I get the error “Object reference not set an instance of an object”

What am I doing wrong?

@Marisa_Ontiveros1

weekDay(string)= culture.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(now.DayOfWeek).ToString

try Now.DayOfWeek.ToString()

Hi @Marisa_Ontiveros1

Can you try the below

If(New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("es-ES").DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(Now.DayOfWeek).ToLower() = "lunes", Now.AddDays(-3), Now)

Lets divide and conquer

Getting a day name in Spanish

Subtracting 3 days
yourDateTimeVar.AddDays(-3)

But we feel that we dont need to check the spanisch name, when processing the date. Maybe you can elaborate more on this and the overall goal
