Sometimes we may need to have the day names in a week for a given culture. With ASP.NET CultureInfo class you can loop through the DateTimeFormat.DayNames and get them. Here is the example of it

[code:c#]
using System.Globalization;

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("ar-ae");   // gets the day names of arabic, arab emirates
foreach (string day in ci.DateTimeFormat.DayNames)
  Response.Write(day + "<br/>");
[/code]


Depending on the culture you want, you can get the CultureInfo reference for that corresponding culture. The DateTimeFormat also provides other values like month names, first day of week etc.,
