Throws general Exception when string is not in correct format
When calling this method with an incorrect format (i.e. converter.ConvertFromInvariantString("ERROR") the method throws a general Exception instance with a FormatException as the InnerException property. I would expect that it would throw either NotSupportedException or FormatException (directly rather than wrapping this).
