Only the string representation is different. Internally, the values are equal:


using System;

class Program
{
        static void Main()
        {
                double expectedValue = 8.98846567431158E+307;
                double actualValue = Double.MaxValue / 2;

                Dump ("expectedValue", expectedValue);
                Dump ("actualValue", actualValue);
                Dump ("diff", Math.Abs (expectedValue - actualValue));
        }

        static void Dump (string text, double d)
        {
                Console.Write ("{0}: {1}: ", text, d.ToString("G17"));
                byte [] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes (d);
                for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)
                        Console.Write ("{0:000} ", bytes [i]);
                Console.WriteLine ();
        }
}
