Just unzip it and double click FirdayCounter.sln. Visual studio will open it. That appear to be a version 8 file (2005)

Yes, I used Visual Studio 2005 to create the project.

It is basically what someone else posted later on:

int Fridays = 0;
            int m_Month = cbMonth.SelectedIndex + 1;
            int m_Year = Convert.ToInt32(edYear.Value);
            DateTime dt = new DateTime(m_Year, m_Month, 1);
            while (dt.Month == m_Month)
            {
                if (dt.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Friday)
                    Fridays++;
                dt = dt.AddDays(1);
            }
            edFridays.Text = Fridays.ToString();

A combobox with all the months (cbMonth), and numericupdown (edYear) and a a simple textbox (edFridays), and ofcourse a Go button that calls the code above.
Basically you need to use the DateTime property (DayOfWeeK0 to determine its day, and increment a counter.

Was getting bored with my usaly PM woke, tried quick one hope this helps

DateTime MyDate = DateTime.Now;
MyDate = new DateTime(MyDate.Year, MyDate.Month, 1);
int NoofFridays = 0;
do
{
if (MyDate.DayOfWeek.ToString()   == "Friday")
NoofFridays++;
MyDate = MyDate.AddDays(1);
} w

A better algorithm:

public static int NumberOfFridays( int DayOfFirstFridayInMonth, int LengthOfMonth ) {
    int length = LengthOfMonth - DayOfFirstFridayInMonth;
    return ( 1 + ( length / 7 ) );
}

It's better because it's explicit (so it should be faster and it takes less code).
