I am reviewing some samples for an upcoming reference book. The samples are for classes I know very well.  I designed or helped design most of them.  But I always have something to learn… Here is one that I thought was pretty cool… prints out the short day names.. Culturelly relevant and all!

using System;

using System.Globalization;

namespace Samples

{

      public class DateTimeFormatInfoAbbreviatedDayNames

      {

            public static void Main()

            {

                  DateTimeFormatInfo f = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat;

                  foreach (string s in f.AbbreviatedDayNames)

                  {

                        Console.WriteLine (s);

                  }

            }

      }

}

output:

Sun

Mon

Tue
