DateTime C# Challenge 3

Question

I need help figuring this out. When I preview my code I don't get any errors, but I check my work and it says "Did you forget to assign the TimeOfDay property?" What am I doing wrong here?

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];
            return weatherForecast;

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

WeatherForecast.cs

using System;

/* Sample CSV Data 

weather_station_id,time_of_day,condition,temperature,precipitation_chance,precipitation_amount
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 0:00,Rain,53,0.3,0.03
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 6:00,Cloudy,56,0.08,0.01
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 12:00,PartlyCloudy,70,0,0
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 18:00,Sunny,76,0,0
HGKL8Q,06/11/2016 19:00,Clear,74,0,0
*/

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

        public DateTime TimeOfDay { get; set; }
    }
}

Hi Daniel,

Your code is almost correct, your return statement is simply on the wrong line as it should be the last line in your function, see the below.

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;
    }
  }
}

Happy coding!
