How to get the culture of an IFormatProvider

i am converting strings to values using a culture specified to me as a IFormatProvider.

i am trying to figure out which culture they gave me.

i realize that IFormatProvider doesn't necessarily have to correspond to a System.Globalization.Culture, but it did.

So how can i get its name?

The CultureInfo class implements IFormatProvider so you may try casting:

IFormatProvider provider = ...
CultureInfo ci = provider as CultureInfo;
if (ci != null)
{
    string name = ci.DisplayName;
    ...
}
