 Convert.ToSingle(double) throws an exception for values that are greater 
 than Float.MaxValue or smaller than Float.MinValue.
 
 Although this makes sense, Microsoft's .NET Framework doesn't throw the 
 exception here, but does just a (float)value. MSDN documentation mentions 
 no exception.

+Even if the compatibility with .NET doesn't matter, there is another 
+problem or bug in the conversion: infinity and NaN should be 
+converted from double to single without exception!
