My code in last challenge doesn't seem to work, and I can't figure out why...

When I try to run my code I get: "Bummer! Did you forget to assign the TimeOfDay property?" error. I don't understand why this happens. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Program.cs
using System;
using System.IO;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] arg)
        {
        }

        public static WeatherForecast ParseWeatherForecast(string[]  values){
            WeatherForecast weatherForecast = new WeatherForecast();
            DateTime timeOfDay;
            if (DateTime.TryParse(values[1], out timeOfDay)) {
                weatherForecast.WeatherStationId = values[0];
            }

            return weatherForecast;
        }
    }
}
WeatherForecast.cs
using System;

/* Sample CSV Data 

weather_station_id,time_of_day,condition,temperature,precipitation_chance,precipitation_amount

*/

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class WeatherForecast
    {
        public string WeatherStationId { get; set; }
        public DateTime TimeOfDay { get; set; }
    }
}

I see where you perform the tryParse operation correctly, but then the instructions say, "If the TryParse is successful, set the TimeOfDay property on the weatherForecast object." There doesn't seem to be any code yet to set that TimeOfDay property. Instead, one of the lines from task 1 seems to have been moved into the conditional block.

THANK. YOU! Sometimes I can't see what's right in front of me. It worked, you we're right. Many thanks, once again!
