Gets an object that controls formatting.
Syntax
Value
A IFormatProvider object for a specific culture, or the formatting of the current culture if no other culture is specified.
Remarks
The value of the TextWriter.FormatProvider property specifies the culture-specific formatting that is used when you call the erload:System.IO.TextWriter.Write and erload:System.IO.TextWriter.WriteLine methods. If you do not want to provide a format provider, you create an instance by using the TextWriter.#ctor constructor, which sets the TextWriter.FormatProvider property to null. When the TextWriter.FormatProvider property contains null, the culture of the current thread is used for formatting.
