how to convert UTC DateTime to local datetime in C#?

Just use this method. It  will return you local timezone date in datetime format. 

protected DateTime GetCurrentTime()
        {
            DateTime serverTime = DateTime.Now;
            DateTime _localTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(serverTime, 
            TimeZoneInfo.Local.Id, "Indian Standard Time");
            return _localTime;
        }

Enjoy :)

Thanks for asking a question here.

I tried to run above code, and it is returning the desired results for me, let me tell you what I entered and what was the output

public ActionResult Index()
        {
            //Calling Function for testing
            var TestDate= ConvertToTargetTimeZone(DateTime.UtcNow, 330);

            return View();
        }

public string ConvertToTargetTimeZone(DateTime utcDateTime, int timeDifference)
        {
            string targetDateTime = string.Empty;
            
            targetDateTime = utcDateTime.AddMinutes(-timeDifference).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

            return targetDateTime;
         }

So in my case, input was:

UTCDatetime: 8/3/2017 8:05:02 AM, timeDifference: 330

Output:

targetDatetime: 03/08/2017

Looks like it is already solved.

Another method can be

//Example input is : 2012-09-19 01:27:30.000, which has unspecified timezone, so you can use

DateTime convertedDate = DateTime.Parse(dateStr);

var kind = convertedDate.Kind; // will equal DateTimeKind.Unspecified

//Specify kind in it if you know, suppose it is UTC

DateTime convertedDate = DateTime.SpecifyKind(
    DateTime.Parse(dateStr),
    DateTimeKind.Utc);

var kind = convertedDate.Kind; // will equal DateTimeKind.Utc

//Now call .ToLocalTime()

DateTime dt = convertedDate.ToLocalTime();


//Now to convert it into specific format like "dd/MM/yyyy"


 targetDateTime= dt.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm");

 return targetDateTime; // Output will be 19/09/2012 06:57

That's it,you are done.
