C# Basics - Challenge Task 2 of 3 - What am I missing?

For some reason my code is not passing; however I can compile run on my local dev box. Could someone have a look and see what I might be missing please? (Code Attached)

Thanks in advance!

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            var counter = 0;
            while (true)
            {
                Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
                try
                {
                    var printCount = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

                    while (counter < printCount)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                        counter += 1;
                    }
                    break;
                }
                catch (FormatException)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
                    continue;
                }
                catch (ArgumentNullException)
                {
                    continue;
                }
            }
        }
    }

tried with for loop as well:

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            while (true)
            {
                Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
                try
                {
                    var printCount = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

                    for (var i = 0; i < printCount; i++)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                    }
                    break;
                }
                catch (FormatException)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
                    continue;
                }
                catch (ArgumentNullException)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Null Exception");
                    continue;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Your program must ask for and accept input ONE TIME ONLY, s/continue/return/g
