The provider parameter is an object that implements the IFormatProvider interface. Its GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object that provides culture-specific information about the format of the string that is returned by this method. The object that implements IFormatProvider can be any of the following:
A CultureInfo object that represents the culture whose formatting rules are to be used.
A NumberFormatInfo object that contains specific numeric formatting information for this value.
A custom object that implements IFormatProvider and whose GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object that provides formatting information.
If provider is nullptr or a NumberFormatInfo object cannot be obtained from provider, the return value is formatted with the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture.
