How to know the number of days until today in this year

Question

I want to know the number of days from january 1st to today.

If today is January 10th, then numOfDays=10, if today is February 1st then numOfDays=32.

How can I get the total no of days? Thank you

Answer 1

You can use DateTime's DayOfYear property.

int dayOfYear = DateTime.Now.DayOfYear;

Answer 2

DateTime.DayOfYear is exactly what you want.

To find out the day of year for today:

var days = DateTime.Today.DayOfYear;

Answer 3

This should give you what you are looking for:

int currDayOfYear = DateTime.Now.DayOfYear; 

Answer 4

This shows how to do it. Step by step, use DateTime.Now to get a DateTime object representing the current date/time. Then use the DateTime.DayOfYear property.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.dayofyear.aspx

public int DayOfYear { get; }

Property Value Type: System.Int32 The day of the year, expressed as a value between 1 and 366.
