Note:

Because this method uses culture-sensitive data, you should not assume that multiple calls to the method will return identical data unless provider is a System.Globalization.CultureInfo object that represents the invariant culture. The data returned by this method can change if the user overrides the individual cultural settings of provider or if an update occurs to the system's cultural data for provider.
