As already clearly explained in solution 2, posted ELEVEN YEARS AGO.

An unexplained code-dump which duplicates an existing solution is NOT a reason to resurrect an ancient solved question. If anything, it will get you kicked off the site for plagiarism.

Solution 1

Actually, you wouldn't need to do the if then statement at all. You can simply do a format:

C#

Label6.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToString("dddd");

That would put the full day of the week in the control. Here are more date formats you could use:

Thank You, I find your solution useful. However, the output i get is always the actual day today. For example, today is Friday but when i click a date that is on Wednesday, the output shown is still Friday. So how do i match the day selected to my Label6?

I've tweaked my answer slightly, assuming you are using a standard calendar control named Calendar1. This should fix your issue.

Solution 2

Don't even need to go to that trouble

var x = DateTime.Now;
if(x.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Tuesday);

I am assuming that Calendar returns a DataTime value. I do not work in ASP.NET

This is the exact solution:

Label6.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.DayOfWeek.ToString();
