Get weekday Name VC++

Dec 17th, 2008

Hi

How to get WeekdayName in VC++

I have searched on net and found the use of
CTime::GetCurrentTime();

But this is the lengthy method

Is there any shorter one.

Kindly advice

Regards
Karan

Your question is a bit bizzare. What do you mean by week name?

But perhaps this would be helpful
