C# C# Collections Lists Read-only Collection Interfaces

help please

Change the type of the Entries property to return a read-only collection such that the client of the FitnessRecord class can still index into the collection but can’t add or remove anything from it.

FitnessRecord.cs 
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class FitnessRecord
    {
        private List<ActivityEntry> _entries = new List<ActivityEntry>();

        public Read-only<ActivityEntry> Entries { get { return _entries; } }
    }
}
ActivityEntry.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class ActivityEntry
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public DateTime Started { get; set; }
        public DateTime Finished { get; set; }
    }
}

For Entries you need to use a list of type IReadOnlyList. I'll leave the implementation up to you because it should be simple enough.
