Is there a way to ensure no implicit culture settings are used?

I have some classes which can't make assumptions about de used culture. These classes should always use CultureInfo.InvariantCulture. However, I can't set the thread's current culture to CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, because other classes rely on <globalization culture="auto".

Is there a way to ensure some classes always use explicit culture method calls (like: Convert.ToDecimal(value, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)) instead of assumed culture (like: Convert.ToDecimal(value)).

Maybe my question it's not 100% clear: I'd like to detect all methods which have an overload which uses CultureInfo, but also one without the CultureInfo which uses the CurrentCulture.

This includes implicit casts of numbers to string:

decimal value = 1.0;
string displayThis = string.Format("Costs: {0}", value);

The goal is to make sure some classes/methods don't assume anything about CultureInfo.

Supposedly I should solve this with FxCop. Any tips on this?

you can use Convert.ToDecimal Method (Object, IFormatProvider) and pass your culture specific provider

No, but you could easily roll your own ConertInvariant.ToDecimal(...) wrappers.
