DateTime.ToLocalTime() Method in C#

Last Updated : 11 Feb, 2019

This method is used to convert the value of the current DateTime object to local time.

Syntax: public DateTime ToLocalTime ();

Return Value: This method returns an object whose Kind property is Local, and whose value is the local time equivalent to the value of the current DateTime object, or MaxValue if the converted value is too large to be represented by a DateTime object, or MinValue if the converted value is too small to be represented as a DateTime object.

Below programs illustrate the use of DateTime.ToLocalTime() Method

Example 1:

// C# program to demonstrate the 
// DateTime.ToLocalTime() 
// Method 
using System; 
using System.Globalization; 
  
class GFG { 
  
    // Main Method 
    public static void Main() 
    { 
        // creating object of DateTime 
        DateTime date = new DateTime(2011, 1, 
                                1, 4, 0, 15); 
  
        // Converts the value of the current  
        // DateTime object to local time. 
        // using ToLocalTime() method; 
        DateTime value = date.ToLocalTime(); 
  
        // Display the TimeSpan 
        Console.WriteLine("local time is {0}", value); 
    } 
} 

Output:

local time is 01/01/2011 04:00:15

Example 2:

// C# program to demonstrate the 
// DateTime.ToLocalTime() 
// Method 
using System; 
using System.Globalization; 
  
class GFG { 
  
    // Main Method 
    public static void Main() 
    { 
        // creating object of DateTime 
        DateTime date = DateTime.Now; 
  
        // Converts the value of the current 
        // DateTime object to local time. 
        // using ToLocalTime() method; 
        DateTime value = date.ToLocalTime(); 
  
        // Display the TimeSpan 
        Console.WriteLine("local time is {0}", value); 
    } 
}
