How to get the integer value of the day of the week

Question

How to get the day of the week in integer format? I know that ToString will only return a string.

DateTime ClockInfoFromSystem = DateTime.Now; int day1; string day2; day1= ClockInfoFromSystem.DayOfWeek.ToString(); /// it is not working day2= ClockInfoFromSystem.DayOfWeek.ToString(); /// it gives me string 

Answer 1

Using

 day1 = (int)ClockInfoFromSystem.DayOfWeek; 

Answer 2

 int day = (int)DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek; 

First day of the week: Sunday (with a value of 0)

Answer 3

If you want to set the first day of the week on Monday with integer value 1 and Sunday with integer value 7

 int day = ((int)DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek == 0) ? 7 : (int)DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek; 

Answer 4

 day1= (int)ClockInfoFromSystem.DayOfWeek;

 int week = Convert.ToInt32(currentDateTime.DayOfWeek); 

Answer 6

The correct way to get an integer value Enum, such as DayOfWeek, as a string:
