Problem with adding the Content. Get a "unreachable code detected

Hi!

I'm getting an error: "Cannot assign to 'Content' because it is a 'method group'." And also a warning: "Unreachable code detected". What am I doing wrong?

I should point out that i'm using a Mac with Visual Studio Community 2017, so the solution doesn't look exactly like the video. For example I have another Controller named HomeController wich was added for me when creating the project.

Grateful for any help!

using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;


namespace ComicBookGallery.Controllers
{
   public class ComicBookController : Controller
    {
        public ContentResult Detail()
        {
            return new ContentResult();
            {
                Content = "Hello from the comic book controller"
            };
        }
    }
}

Hi!

Easy fix here, you just need to remove the semi-colon directly after ContentResult();

The rest is fine.
