Question

DateTime dt = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 1);
string day = dt.DayOfWeek.ToString();
day = day.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper();
MessageBox.Show(day); // result is "F"

How could I get the result in a local language (CultureInfo), for example – France and where can I find a list of languages references for this purpose ?

Straight from the MSDN: MSDN on DateTime with CultureInfo

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
// Sets the CurrentCulture property to U.S. English.
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
// Displays dt, formatted using the ShortDatePattern
// and the CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("d"));
