There's another method on WebClient we can use called DownloadString. It takes a string parameter for the URL and return

using System; using System.IO; using System.Net;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine(BecomeZen()); } public static string BecomeZen() { string zenResponse = "";

        using(var webClient = new WebClient())
        {
        webClient.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "CodeChallenge");
        string response = webClient.DownloadString("https://api.github.com/zen");
        }

        return zenResponse;
    }
}

}

it is showing this error guys help out 

                                                                                                                                                There's another method on WebClient we can use called DownloadString. It takes a string parameter for the URL and returns the response as a string.

Call the DownloadString method on webClient with the following URL: "https://api.github.com/zen". Assign the result to the zenResponse variable.

It would help to include a link to the course page you are working with. And when posting code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.

using(var webClient = new WebClient()) { webClient.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "CodeChallenge"); zenResponse = webClient.DownloadString("https://api.github.com/zen"); }

    return zenResponse;
