How to call TypeConverter.ConvertTo or ConvertToString with InvariantCulture but without implementing ITypeDescriptorContext

Question

In my convert method i get the wrong number separators when i use TypeConverter.ConvertToString(Object) because my system is in german. There is another overload for this method which looks like this: TypeConverter.ConvertToString(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object).

Is there a smart way to obtain the ITypeDescriptorContext or another option to call this method with InvariantCulture besides switching the culture before and after?

Answer 1

You can pass null as a parameter

TypeConverter.ConvertToString(null, 
                              CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, Object);
