Adding Seconds to DateTime with a Valid Double Results in ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Question

The following code crashes and burns and I don\'t understand why:

DateTime dt = new DateTime(1970,1,1,0,0,0,0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
double d = double.Parse(\"1         


        

Answer 1

I think the double value is genuinely too large. It represents just over 42,267 years (if my maths is correct), and DateTime.MaxValue is 23:59:59.9999999, December 31, 9999
