Working with DateTime 3 of 3 Code Challenge

Hey all, can't quite figure out this step of the code challenge. Here's my code:

public static WeatherForecast ParseWeatherForecast(string[] values)
            {
                WeatherForecast weatherForecast = new WeatherForecast();
                weatherForecast.WeatherStationId = values[0];

                return weatherForecast;

            }
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();
                weatherForecast.WeatherStationId = values[0];

                var timeOfDay = new TimeOfDay();
                DateTime.timeOfDay;

                if (DateTime.TryParse(values[1], out timeOfDay) 
                {
                    weatherForecast.TimeOfDay = timeOfDay;    
                }

                return weatherForecast;

            }
    }
}
WeatherForecast.cs 
using System;

/* Sample CSV Data

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


}

Change the line: "var timeOfDay = new TimeOfDay();" to "DateTime timeOfDay;"

Delete the "DateTime.timeOfDay;

Change the line: "var timeOfDay = new TimeOfDay();" to "DateTime timeOfDay;"

Delete the "DateTime.timeOfDay;

That should fix it.

That doesn't fix it, I'm still getting an "Program.cs(21,16): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `{' Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings" error:

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();
            weatherForecast.WeatherStationId = values[0];

                DateTime timeOfDay;
                if (DateTime.TryParse(values[1], out timeOfDay) 
                {
                    weatherForecast.TimeOfDay = timeOfDay;    
                }

            return weatherForecast;
        }  
    }
}

Figured this out, this line:

WeatherForecast weatherForecast = new WeatherForecast();

...needs to be written thusly:

var weatherForecast = new WeatherForecast();
