[c#] Get the correct week number of a given date

Since there doesn't seem to be a .Net-culture that yields the correct ISO-8601 week number, I'd rather bypass the built-in week determination altogether, and do the calculation manually, instead of attempting to correct a partially correct result.

What I ended up with is the following extension method:

/// <summary>
/// Converts a date to a week number.
/// ISO 8601 week 1 is the week that contains the first Thursday that year.
/// </summary>
public static int ToIso8601Weeknumber(this DateTime date)
{
    var thursday = date.AddDays(3 - date.DayOfWeek.DayOffset());
    return (thursday.DayOfYear - 1) / 7 + 1;
}

/// <summary>
/// Converts a week number to a date.
/// Note: Week 1 of a year may start in the previous year.
/// ISO 8601 week 1 is the week that contains the first Thursday that year, so
/// if December 28 is a Monday, December 31 is a Thursday,
/// and week 1 starts January 4.
/// If December 28 is a later day in the week, week 1 starts earlier.
/// If December 28 is a Sunday, it is in the same week as Thursday January 1.
/// </summary>
public static DateTime FromIso8601Weeknumber(int weekNumber, int? year = null, DayOfWeek day = DayOfWeek.Monday)
{
    var dec28 = new DateTime((year ?? DateTime.Today.Year) - 1, 12, 28);
    var monday = dec28.AddDays(7 * weekNumber - dec28.DayOfWeek.DayOffset());
    return monday.AddDays(day.DayOffset());
}

/// <summary>
/// Iso8601 weeks start on Monday. This returns 0 for Monday.
/// </summary>
private static int DayOffset(this DayOfWeek weekDay)
{
    return ((int)weekDay + 6) % 7;
}

First of all, ((int)date.DayOfWeek + 6) % 7) determines the weekday number, 0=monday, 6=sunday.

date.AddDays(-((int)date.DayOfWeek + 6) % 7) determines the date of the monday preceiding the requested week number.

Three days later is the target thursday, which determines what year the week is in.

If you divide the (zero based) day-number within the year by seven (round down), you get the (zero based) week number in the year.

In c#, integer calculation results are round down implicitly.
