Assign DayOfWeek as variable

[kmafsar]

Here is my code which calculate number of days between two dates except weekends. which worked fine but need help to assign DayOfWeek as variable like:

daya = "Friday" 
dayb = "Saturday"

DayOfWeek of the week change some time Sunday, etc..

Dim sdate As Date = DateTime.Parse(txtfdate.Text).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
Dim edate As Date = DateTime.Parse(txttdate.Text).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
Dim RqHours = 0
Dim totalDays = (edate - sdate).Days

Dim daya As string = "Friday" 
Dim dayb As string= "Saturday"

For i = 0 To totalDays
Dim weekday As DayOfWeek = sdate.AddDays(i).DayOfWeek
If weekday <> DayOfWeek.Friday AndAlso weekday <> DayOfWeek.Saturday Then
'If weekday <> daya AndAlso weekday <> dayb Then
RqHours += 1
End If
Next

What is the problem?

The following code working well:

For i = 0 To totalDays

Dim weekday As DayOfWeek = sdate.AddDays(i).DayOfWeek
If weekday <> DayOfWeek.Friday AndAlso weekday <> DayOfWeek.Saturday Then
RqHours += 1

End If
Next

here is got error:

Dim daya As string = "Friday" 
Dim dayb As string= "Saturday"

For i = 0 To totalDays

Dim weekday As DayOfWeek = sdate.AddDays(i).DayOfWeek
If weekday <> daya AndAlso weekday <> dayb  Then
RqHours += 1

End If
Next

What is the error? Does the code not compile or is it a runtime error? If the code doesn't compile, then you have a mismatched type between the strings defined as "Friday" and "Saturday" and the DayOfWeek enum values (enums are defined as integers).
