Challenge Task 1 of 4

Create a new public static method named SerializeWeatherForecasts that returns void and takes a List<WeatherForecast> parameter named weatherForecasts and a string named fileName. Bummer!

Shawn,

The code challenge's error message is referring to the incorrect method name. The error message "Does your DeserializeWeather method take a List<WeatherForecast> parameter named weatherForecasts?" should read "Does your SerializeWeatherForecasts method take a List<WeatherForecast> parameter named weatherForecasts?".

I've updated the code challenge to fix this problem. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention!

Thanks ~James

working code: using System; using System.IO; using System.Collections.Generic; using Newtonsoft.Json;
