+Summary: Convert.ToByte(string, base) should throw OverflowException
+
+Description of Problem:
+This should throw OverflowException 
+
+Convert.ToByte("3F3", 16)
+
+since "3F3" is equal to 1011 and byte.MaxValue is 255.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Run the code
+
+Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToByte("3F3", 16)); 
+
+Actual Results:
+243
+
+Expected Results:
+OverflowException
+
+How often does this happen? 
+All the time
+
+Additional Information:
+The hexadecimal value "3F3" is 1011 in decimal form. If you take 1011-
+256*3 you get 243. When getting to byte.MaxValue it just starts over.
