Time out error will not go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't finish my code code challenge.

Because:

what do i do when I get a time out error every time on the second half of the code challenge.

I can't submit my code:

TooBigException.cs

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class TooBigException : System.Exception {
       TooBigException (string message) : base(message){

       }
    }
}

Hello Carel,

I believe the issue is that you're missing an accessor modifier on the constructor. Try prefixing your TooBigException constructor with public so that it looks like this:

public TooBigException (string message) : base(message) {
...
}

I hope this helps.
