Having trouble figuring this one out.

Not sure where I'm going wrong.

VideoGamesController.cs 
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
    public class VideoGamesController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Detail()
        {

        <div>
          <h1>@ViewBag.Title</h1>

          <h5>Description:</h5>
          <div>@ViewBagDescription</div>

          <h5>Characters:</h5>
       <div>
            <ul>
                @foreach (var character in ViewBag.Characters)
                {
                    <li>@character</li>
                }
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
            return View();
        }
    }
}
Detail.cshtml 
@{
    Layout = null;

    var title = "Super Mario 64";
    var description = "Super Mario 64 is a 1996 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64.";
    var characters = new string[]
    {
        "Mario",
        "Princess Peach",
        "Bowser",
        "Toad",
        "Yoshi"
    };
}

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Video Game Detail</title>
</head>
<body>

It looks like you moved the wrong thing.

The challenge instructions tell you to move parts of the C# code from one file to the other (with slight modifications), but it looks like you moved the HTML code instead. I'm sure the compiler isn't happy with that.

Read the challenge instructions carefully, and move only those lines specifically mentioned by the challenge.
