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).
