how to convert UTC time to Local using C#?

Hello, I would like to know how can I convert UTC datetime into local (user's pc) datetime in asp.net MVC razor page using C#?

I thought .ToLocalTime() should work, but I am not getting correct result.

Here are the possible methods to convert UTC time into Local using C#

Using TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(UTCDateTime);
Using UTCDateTime.ToLocalTime(); (Should work)

When Format is known using DateTime.ParseExact

DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, 
                   "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss", 
                   CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, 
                   DateTimeStyles.AssumeUniversal | DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal)

In the above code, we have considered that Datetime format is known to us

Using TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(UTCDatetime, TimeZoneInfo.Local)

Any of the above ways should work.
