Parameters

WeekDay

Abbreviate

Optional. Boolean value that indicates if the weekday name is to be abbreviated. If omitted, the default is False, which means the weekday name is not abbreviated.

Exceptions/Errors

Remarks

The string returned by WeekdayName depends not only on the input arguments, but also on the Regional Options settings specified in the Windows Control Panel.

If WeekDay is less than 1 or more than 7, or if FirstDayOfWeekValue is less than 0 or more than 7, an ArgumentException error occurs.

Note   WeekdayName uses the current calendar setting from the CurrentCulture property of the CultureInfo class in the System.Globalization namespace. The default CurrentCulture values are determined by Control Panel settings.
