    <summary>
      <para>Represents the error that occurs when the result of an arithmetic operation is too large to be
      represented by the destination type.</para>
    </summary>
    <remarks>
      <para>In languages that detect overflow, this is the exception
      that gets thrown. For example, in C#, the <see langword="checked" /> keyword is
      used to detect overflow conditions. A <see cref="T:System.OverflowException" /> exception occurs only in a
   <see langword="checked" />
   context.</para>
