Is Int32.ToString() culture-specific?

Question

I\'m running a beta version of ReSharper, and it\'s giving me warnings for the following code:

int id;
// ...
DoSomethingWith(id.ToString());

Answer 1

As tested on a random sample of ints, all 352 cultures installed with Windows (CultureTypes.InstalledWin32Cultures) give identical results.

Daniel is right to note a custom culture could use a different prefix for negative numbers, but I doubt anyone has ever used this feature save by accident.

I guess the .NET devs did it to be consistent with float and other types. What else were they expecting?
