12,630 PointsCan't figure out what I'm doing wrong when creating exception...
I think I'm doing something wrong when creating the constructor for the TooBigException class.
It keeps telling me this message: "Did you create a constructor for TooBigException that takes a string parameter?"
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class TooBigException : System.Exception
{
public TooBigException(String message) : base(message)
{
}
}
}

231,198 PointsYou want to take a string (lowercase) parameter, not a String (uppercase S).
They are both valid types, but they are not the same thing.

12,630 PointsI have investigated a little bit and found that string is an alias in C# for System.String presuming that they are the same type.
Do you know where it is recommended to use each one? Is it better to use a particular one for consistency with your code?
