C# C# Objects Inheritance Custom Exceptions

Create a new exception type with no constructor named TooBigException.

Exception looks to be confusing, i could not find any error in this 2 lines of code.

Can someone help I keep on getting error: Feature `primary constructor' cannot be used because it is not part of the C# 6.0 language specification

TooBigException.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class TooBigException() : System.Exception
    {
    }
}

Class declarations should not have parenthesis after them. If you simply remove those like this:

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class TooBigException : System.Exception // Remove ()
    {
    }
}

Then your code will pass task 1.
