Format(), ToString() and FormatProvider

Hello,

following problem:

I have written a custom format provider MyFormatInfo (which implements
IFormatProvider and ICustomProvider).

When I write

String.Format(new MyFormatInfo(), "{0:myformat}", 2)

the output is as expected.

But when I write

2.ToString("myformat", new MyFormatInfo())

the output is "myformat".

Any ideas, why the behaviour of Format() and ToString() is not euqal.

Thanks

Frank
