performing an IF statement based on the weekday name

Question

I have the following VB.NET code:

Dim tomorrow = Now.Date.AddDays(1)
Dim weekdayname = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(tomorrow.DayOfWeek)
If weekdayname = "Thursday" Then
  something(happens)
Else
  something(happens)
End If

This doesn't appear to work, i.e. its Thursday today and I want the first thing to happen but it ignores that and goes to the second.

Answer 1

You say it's thursday today, but your code uses not today but tomorrow=Date.Now.AddDays(1).

Instead of the day-name which depends on the current culture, i would use the DayOfWeek-enum:

Dim today = Date.Today
If today.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Thursday Then
    something(happens) 
Else
    something(happens)
End If
