In .NET Core 3.0 and later, values that are too large to represent are rounded to <xref:System.Double.PositiveInfinity> or <xref:System.Double.NegativeInfinity> as required by the IEEE 754 specification. In prior versions, including .NET Framework, parsing a value that was too large to represent resulted in failure.

This overload of the <xref:System.Double.Parse%28System.String%2CSystem.IFormatProvider%29> method is typically used to convert text that can be formatted in a variety of ways to a <xref:System.Double> value.
