| CreateCultureSpecificFormatter(String) |
Creates a culture specific formatter for this data type.
A formatter may configured by casting it to the corresponding formatter class. For numeric types (DataType.Integer, DataType.Long and DataType.Real) the formatter class is NumberFormatter. For date/time types (DataType.Date, DataType.Time and DataType.DateTime it is DateTimeFormatter. The formatter class for DataType.String is StringFormatter. |
| CreateFormatter | Obsolete.
Creates a user localized formatter for this data type.
