Hey there,

You're extremely close - I think what you're missing is a set of curly braces {} associated with the MemoryStream. Each using statement needs its own set, so the code should look something like this:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(GetTreehouseHome());
        }

        public static string GetTreehouseHome()
        {
            string treehouse = "";
            // Put code here
            using (var webClient = new WebClient()) {
                byte[] treehouseBytes = webClient.DownloadData("https://www.teamtreehouse.com");

                using (var stream = new MemoryStream(treehouseBytes)) {
                    using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream)) {
                        treehouse = reader.ReadToEnd();
                    }
                }
            }
            return treehouse;
        }
    }
}
