Binaryworld - Weekday names in any language ... [ VB.net -> Date-Time ]

' How do you spell "Sunday" in German?
' First, create a CultureInfo object for German/Germany.
' (Note that you must pass a string in the form "locale-COUNTRY" if
' a given language is spoken in multiple countries.)
Dim ciDe As New CultureInfo("de-DE")
' Next, get the corresponding DateTimeFormatInfo object.
Dim dtfi As DateTimeFormatInfo = ciDe.DateTimeFormat
' Here's the answer:
Console.WriteLine(dtfi.GetDayName(DayOfWeek.Sunday)) ' => Sonntag

You can learn which cultures are available on your machine with the GetCultures shared method, which returns an array of all the installed cultures:
' Get info on all the installed cultures.
Dim ciArr() As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures)

' Print abbreviation and English name of each culture.
Dim c As CultureInfo
For Each c In ciArr
Console.WriteLine(c.Name & " (" & c.EnglishName & ")")
