Remarks

See the remarks for IFormatterRegistry for more information about the algorithm by which an appropriate formatter is selected.

It should be very rare for this method to raise an exception; as implementations of this type should come pre-loaded with fallback formatters which may format any value. Exceptions might only be expected if a developer removes these default formatters and does not replace them with suitable implementaton types that can cover all scenarios.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

If no appropriate formatter could be selected
