Question by Jun Hin · May 30, 2014 at 11:37 AM · liststringdatetimedate

Formatting Calendar, Iterating through list of strings.

I'm trying to format a calendar so that it displays the day and below it the date. What I've done now gives me this result:

alt text

As you can see I'm having trouble getting the days to display properly and I'm out of ideas on how to fix it.

My code:

     public int firstJan;
     public int daysfromnow;

     public string firstDayOfYear;
     private string dayName;
    
     List<string> dayList = new List<string>(7);
    
     void Update () 
     {
         firstJan = DateTime.Now.DayOfYear;
 
         DateTime Today = DateTime.Now;
         DateTime answer = Today.AddDays(-firstJan + daysfromnow);
 
         firstDayOfYear = answer.DayOfWeek.ToString().Substring(0, 3);
         dayName = firstDayOfYear;
 
         dayList.Add(dayName);
         
         for (int i = 0; i < daysfromnow; i++)
         {
             Transform child = transform.GetChild(i);
             child.GetComponent<UILabel>().text = dayList[i] + "\n" + transform.GetChild(i).name;
             daysfromnow += 1;
 
             if (daysfromnow >= transform.childCount)
                 daysfromnow = transform.childCount;
         }
     }

Thanks for the hint, I managed to fix it by putting all of the day calculation stuff into it's own function then calling it in the for loop I have in Update.
