I am stuck on task 1 of 1.... not sure how to continue to modify the code, but it is not passing the challenge.

Please help, my code is attached below.

VideoGamesController.cs 
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
    public class VideoGamesController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Detail()
        {
           return new ContentResult()
           {

            return Content= "Welcome to the Video Game Detail page!"
            };

        }
    }
}

There's 3 parts to this task, and I see you've done the first one by changing the return type correctly. So what's left is to "return the result of a call to the base controller's Content method", and to pass "the string literal "Welcome to the Video Game Detail page!" to the Content method".

Issues I notice in this code are:

  • there are two "return" statements instead of one
  • the first one doesn't seem related to the instructions
  • the second one is assigning an undeclared "Content" instead of calling the method with that name
  • the string is being assigned instead of passed as an argument
