I'm sorry. But I really don't quite understand the requirement here?
int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
try {
if(value>=0 && value<=20)
{Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}",value));}
}
catch
{Console.WriteLine("The value is out of bounds!");}

throw new System.Exception();
In your code you check if the value is valid, but you don't throw any exception if it isn't. If you remove the try..catch block and just add an else clause to your if statement where you throw an exception as shown above, then you will be able to pass the challenge.
