Not sure my error in my code for this objective:

using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Treehouse.Controllers { public class VideoGamesController : Controller { public ActionResult Detail() { return Redirect("/");
}

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

}

VideoGamesController.cs 
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
    public class VideoGamesController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Detail()
        {
          return Redirect("/");     
        }

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

A couple of things, it looks like:

  • I don't think the challenge asks to use the Redirect method, so that can be removed.
  • You're almost there, though! You have to return the Content method from inside the Detail method. To call it, though you should enclose the string in parentheses - ().

Hope that helps, but let me know if you need more info.
