DayOfWeek yesterday swedish

Question

I cant figure how to get the yesterday string to swedish culture

DateTime dateTime = DateTime.Now;
string today = dateTime.DayOfWeek.ToString();
string yesterday = dateTime.AddDays(-1).DayOfWeek.ToString(); //Fetch day i.e. Mon, Tues

I have got culture working for todays day, but not yesterday

var culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE");
var day = culture.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek);

Hope someone can help me

You want to use either the ddd or dddd custom format specifier with the ToString(string, IFormatProvider) method.

DateTime dateTime = DateTime.Now;
var culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE");
string today = dateTime.ToString("ddd", culture);
string yesterday = dateTime.AddDays(-1).ToString("ddd", culture);
