Thank you everybody who took the time to help me with this problem. The solution I implemented is to set the infinite loop (in C# while {true}), then advancing the date one day at a time. And then checking if the resulting date is Saturday/Sunday; in which case skipping the date. Until reaching the nDays2Advance that does not fall on a weekend.
