To use format | For culture | Use the overload |
|---|---|---|
Default ("G") format | Default (current) culture | |
Default ("G") format | A specific culture | |
A specific format | Default (current) culture |
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 null 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:

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 null, the thread current culture is used.
