Date time without name of day

albert albert

HI Everybody,

I have this:

[code]
public static IEnumerable GetWeekNumbers(this HtmlHelper helper /*Dictionary dayOfWeek*/ /*,DateTime allWeeks*/ /*int selectID*/)
{
var janFirst = new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, 1, 1);
//beware different cultures.
var firstWeek = janFirst.AddDays(1 - (int)(janFirst.DayOfWeek));
int j = -1;
foreach (var weekNumber in Enumerable.Range(0, 52).Select(i => new
{
weekStart = firstWeek.AddDays(i * 7),
//Tuesday = firstWeek.AddDays(i * 3)
}).TakeWhile(x => x.weekStart.Year <= janFirst.Year).Select(x => new
{
x.weekStart,

//tuesday = x.weekStart.AddDays(3),
weekFinish = x.weekStart.AddDays(6)
}).SkipWhile(x => x.weekFinish < janFirst.AddDays(1)))
{
j++;
yield return new SelectListItem
{
Value = new
{
Monday = firstWeek.AddDays(j * 7).ToString("d"),//.OrderBy(item => item.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)),
Tuesday = weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(1).ToShortDateString(),
Wendsday = weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(2).ToShortDateString(),
Thursday = weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(3).ToShortDateString(),
Fryday = weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(4).ToShortDateString(),
Saterday = weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(5).ToShortDateString(),
Sunday = weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(6).ToShortDateString(),

}.ToString(),

Text = (j + 1).ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
};

//foreach (var week in weekNumber)
//{
//string s = string.Format("{}")

}

//return helper.DropDownList()
}//end me
[/code]

But I get in the textbox this output:

{ Monday = 9-1-2012

But the output has to be only the date, like this: 9-1-2012

THX for helping.

Niels.

Accepted answer
Try:

yield return new SelectListItem
{
Value = String.Join(", ", new string[]
{
weekNumber.weekStart.ToShortDateString(),
weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(1).ToShortDateString(),
weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(2).ToShortDateString(),
weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(3).ToShortDateString(),
weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(4).ToShortDateString(),
weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(5).ToShortDateString(),
weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(6).ToShortDateString()
}),

Text = (j + 1).ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
};

if I try this:

[code]
Value = new
                    {

                       //Mon=firstWeek.AddDays(j * 7).ToString("d"),//.Replace("Monday", "]")//.OrderBy(item => item.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)),
                       Mon = weekNumber.weekStart.ToShortDateString(),
                       Tue=weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(1).ToShortDateString(),
                       Wen=weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(2).ToShortDateString(),
                       Thu=weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(3).ToShortDateString(),
                       Fry=weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(4).ToShortDateString(),
                       Sat=weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(5).ToShortDateString(),
                       Sun=weekNumber.weekStart.AddDays(6).ToShortDateString(),



                    }.ToString().Remove(0,8),
[/code]

I only get the correct format for Monday: 2-1-2012.

But for the other days I still get this output:

Tue = 3-1-2012.., etc.
