…ormatting across different environments. This is crucial because the output of string formatting for numbers can vary based on the machine's locale settings. Using the invariant culture ensures that the format "12,345.00" will be consistent regardless of the regional settings of the system on which this test runs.

Overview
This pull request introduces a modification to the Format_Numeric_Fields unit test to set the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture to CultureInfo.InvariantCulture. This change ensures that the numeric formatting remains consistent, regardless of the regional settings of the system on which the tests are executed.
Background
Unit tests often fail across different environments due to variations in culture settings, especially when it comes to numeric, date, and time formats. Such inconsistencies can lead to failed tests on some systems while passing on others, which is highly undesirable for maintaining stable and reliable build processes.
Request for Review
I request a review from the team to ensure that this approach aligns with our overall testing strategy and to confirm the robustness of the test modifications.
