Convert toLocalTime with format

I have a DateTime.Utcnow that I want to convert to local time. I want to convert it to local time in the format of "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm". ToLocalTime doesn't have a constructor for it.

_executionTimeRepository.SetLastSuccessfulRunDate(DateTime.UtcNow, "FailedJobService");

public void SetLastSuccessfulRunDate(DateTime successfulRunDate, string nameOfService)
{
    using (var context = _contextFactory())
    {
        var field = context.ExecutionTimes.First(s => s.NameOfService == nameOfService);
        field.LastRunDate = successfulRunDate.ToLocalTime();
        context.SaveChanges();
    }
}

In case of String

string date1 = DateTime.UtcNow.ToLocalTime().ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");

In case of DateTime

DateTime date2 = DateTime.ParseExact(DateTime.UtcNow.ToLocalTime().ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm"), "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm", null);

Is field.LastRunDate a DateTime or string? Depending on the type see options:

if DateTime

field.LastRunDate = successfulRunDate.ToLocalTime();
//and when displaying it convert to string with your format
string dateStr = field.LastRunDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");

if string

field.LastRunDate = successfulRunDate.ToLocalTime().ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");
