How do I get the day of a week in integer format? I know ToString will return only a string. 

DateTime ClockInfoFromSystem = DateTime.Now;
int day1;
string day2;
day1= ClockInfoFromSystem.DayOfWeek.ToString(); /// it is not working
day2= ClockInfoFromSystem.DayOfWeek.ToString(); /// it gives me string
