Your application gets a NumberFormatInfo object for a specific culture using one of the following methods:

• Through the CultureInfo.NumberFormat property.

A NumberFormatInfo object is created only for the invariant culture or for specific cultures, not for neutral cultures. For more information about the invariant culture, specific cultures, and neutral cultures, see the CultureInfo class.
