6,341 PointsI can't pass Task 1 on the VideoGamesController.cs. I have looked for answers but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I've tried adding : Controller at the end of the class but that doesn't work either. My errors that return back to me are about the "}" , however, I believe they're in the right place. Not sure what's going on.
Error message:
VideoGamesController.cs(16,0): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol }'
VideoGamesController.cs(16,1): error CS1514: Unexpected symbol}', expecting .' or{'
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
public class VideoGamesController
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Yes, you will need the : Controller to tell it to inherit from the Controller base class. But don't forget that each class needs its own open and closed curly braces (even if there's nothing inside them yet). It will continue to issue a compiler warning because it needs the curly braces to continue.
This is the line you're looking for:
public class VideoGamesController : Controller {}
Hope this helps!

6,341 PointsIt worked! Thank you so much! Now I know to include the curly braces even if there isn't any code in it yet.
