Trying to add "ToString" method to VocabularyWords.cs

Challenge Task 1 of 1

Add a ToString method to the VocabularyWord class that returns the word.

To me time to figure that I did not have to remove or change the code, just needed to add "ToString method" similar to what was shown in video. Went to msdn.microsoft.com and nothing I could quite understand from those examples shown, so went back to video and rewatch it again.... That when the light bulb went off. :).

VocabularyWord.cs 
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class VocabularyWord
    {
        public string Word { get; private set; }

        public VocabularyWord(string word)
        {
            Word = word;
        }
    }
}

This was my fix as I did several ways, but got small errors to big ones... So then I just figure not to delete or rewrite what was already in the code, but simply add more, as the video shows. Always fall back to video :).

VocabularyWord.cs 
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class VocabularyWord
    {
        public string Word { get; private set; }

        public VocabularyWord(string word)
        {
            Word = word;
        }
        public override string ToString()
        {
            return Word;
        }
    }
}
