For example in Turkey 3,2 = in english 3.2

so application uses my local but i want it to use as default 

System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture

How can i set it to that as default for that specific class or for entire application

Not for entire application or particular class.

CurrentUICulture and CurrentCulture are settable per thread as discussed here Is there a way of setting culture for a whole application? All current threads and new threads?. You can't change InvariantCulture at all.

Sample code to change cultures for current thread:

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(theCultureString);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;

For class you can set/restore culture inside critical methods, but it would be significantly safe to use appropriate overrides for most formatting related methods that take culture as one of arguments:

(3.3).ToString(new CultureInfo("fr-FR"))
