can't do it

I do everything it tells me and try again but it doesn't work

Configuration.cs 
using System.Data.Entity.Migrations;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<Context>
    {
        public Configuration()
        {
            AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false;
        }

        protected override void Seed(Context context)
        {
            // TODO Add student test data.
        }
    }
}
Context.cs 
using System.Data.Entity;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Context : DbContext
    {
        public Context ()
        {
            Database.SetInitializer<Context>(null);
        }

        public virtual DbSet<Student> Students  { get; set; }
    }
}
Student.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Student
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }
    }
}

It doesn't look like you've written any code yet.

If you'd done "everything it tells you", there would be some code under the comment line "// TODO Add student test data.".

At least please give it a good-faith attempt and then ask for help if you have trouble, showing the code you have written.
