              var entry = Console.ReadLine();
                try
                {
                    var count = int.Parse(entry);
                    var i = 0;
                    while (i < count)
                      {
                         Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                         i+=1;
                      }
                }
                catch (FormatException)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
                    continue;
                }
                break;
            }

What is the error you get? 
One thing that you could do instead of the following code:

while (i < count)
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
 i+=1;
 }

is doing a for loop instead (If you have learned that).

You moved the line Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": "); when the instructions said to leave it as is. Move that statement back outside the while loop where it was originally placed and you should be good.
