DateTime DayOfWeek Comparison

Question

Id like to Compare a date to see if it is before Saturday like so:

        //Check if Saturday YET
        if (MYWorkDay.DayOfWeek < DateTime.DayOfWeek.Saturday)
            IGottaWork();
        else
            Party();

There seems to be no way to do this.

Is there a way?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Why not this?

    if (MYWorkDay.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Saturday
          && MYWorkDay.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Sunday) 
    {
        IGottaWork();
    }
    else
        Party();

Or even better:

List<DayOfWeek> partyDays = new List<DayOfWeek> {
    DayOfWeek.Saturday, DayOfWeek.Sunday
};

if (partyDays.Contains(MYWorkDay.DayOfWeek))
    Party();
else
    IGottaWork();

Answer 2

Try this:

if (new [] {DayOfWeek.Saturday, DayOfWeek.Sunday}.Contains(d.DayOfWeek)) {
  // party :D
} else {
  // work  D:
}

Answer 3

DayOfWeek is an enum starting with Sunday as 0 and Saturday as the last element hence 6 in integer terms. Think of that when comparing.

Answer 4

If you would rather do comparisons rather than checking a list, you could also do this:

if ((MYWorkDay.DayOfWeek.CompareTo(DayOfWeek.Sunday) > 0) && (MYWorkDay.DayOfWeek.CompareTo(DayOfWeek.Saturday) < 0))
{
      IGottaWork();
}
else
{
      Party();
}
