The CultureInfo that is culture-independent (invariant).
Remarks
The invariant culture is culture-insensitive. Your application specifies the invariant culture by name using an empty string ("") or by its language identifier. InvariantCulture retrieves an instance of the invariant culture. It is associated with the English language but not with any country/region. It is used in almost any method in the System.Globalization namespace that requires a culture.
