Get Date Range by week number c#

Solution 1

Note

I appear to have missed bug. The current code have been updated as of 2012-01-30 to account for this fact and we now derive the daysOffset based on Tuesday which according to Mikael Svenson appears to solve the problem.

These ISO8601 week date calculations are a bit wonky, but this is how you do it:

DateTime jan1 = new DateTime(yyyy, 1, 1); 

int daysOffset = DayOfWeek.Tuesday - jan1.DayOfWeek; 

DateTime firstMonday = jan1.AddDays(daysOffset); 

var cal = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Calendar; 

int firstWeek = cal.GetWeekOfYear(jan1, CalendarWeekRule.FirstFourDayWeek, DayOfWeek.Monday);

var weekNum = ww;

if (firstWeek <= 1) 
{ 
    weekNum -= 1; 
}

var result = firstMonday.AddDays(weekNum * 7 + d - 1);

return result;

Basically calculate a reference point, then add days, the hard stuff has to do with the fact that week 53 can sometimes occur in January and week 1 can sometimes occur in December. You need to adjust for that and this is one way to do that.

The above code calculates the date off a year (yyyy) and week number (ww) and day of week (d).

Solution 2

  • Find out which day of the week was the first January of the year (e.g. in 2011 it was Saturday)
  • Add the necessary count of days to become the next monday (2 days)
  • From this day on, add (Number of weeks - 1) * 7 days to get the first day of the week you are interested in -Display this day plus the next days to get the whole week

    Won't downvote - but John's solution below is correct. This is all laid out in ISO stuff...

    Yes, this is too simplistic and occasionally computes the wrong date.

    If I enter yyyy=2012, ww=1 and d=Monday(1), your code returns Jan 9th and not Jan 2nd which would be correct.

    That's unfortunate, I do remember reworking this code and creating a lot of test but this is older and obviously not right, your small change however seem to work and I don't have the ability to test this more thoroughly, so I'm gonna believe that you did that yourself and correct my own answer ;)
