The format parameter can be any valid standard numeric format specifier except for D, R, and X, as well as any combination of custom numeric format specifiers. If format is nullptr or an empty string, the return value for this instance is formatted with the general numeric format specifier ("G").
The .NET Framework provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics:
For more information about numeric format specifiers, see Standard Numeric Format Strings and Custom Numeric Format Strings.

|---|
Because the Decimal data type is not supported on the Macintosh OS X operating system, the string representation of a Decimal value may be different from those of the other .NET Framework numeric types that are supported by OS X. |
The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation whose IFormatProvider::GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object. Typically, provider is a NumberFormatInfo or CultureInfo object. The provider parameter supplies culture-specific information used in formatting. If provider is nullptr, the thread current culture is used.
