Remarks
This NumberFormatInfo object returned by this property does not change, regardless of the current culture. It represents the formatting conventions of the invariant culture, which is a culture associated with the English language but not with any country/region. The invariant culture is used in formatting operations that are culture-independent or that produce result strings suitable for display across multiple cultures.
