Not sure where to go from here.

Does anyone have advice on where to go from here? I'm not sure how to continue.

Program.cs 
using System;
using System.IO;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] arg)
        {
            public static ParseWeatherForecast(string[] values)
            {
                var weatherForecast = new WeatherForecast;
                string [] values = line.Split(',');
                if (values[0], out weatherForecast);
            }
        }
    }
}
WeatherForecast.cs 
using System;

/* Sample CSV Data

*/

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

Here's a few hints:

  • the definition of ParseWeatherForecast should be a peer to Main and not inside it
  • the return type of ParseWeatherForecast should be declared (as WeatherForecast)
  • the syntax for creating a new WeatherForecast() requires parentheses
  • the values are passed in as the argument, so you won't need to create or assign them
  • the if statement syntax is not valid
  • you won't need a conditional for this task anyway
  • weatherForecast.WeatherStationId still needs to be assigned
  • as the instructions say, "Don't forget to return the weatherForecast in the new method!"
