Try Catch conditions - what's wrong with this?

Hi.

Seems to keep saying that I have to set the conditions for the value to be less than 0 or greater than 20, which is done. Why is this not working?

Cheers.

EDITED CODE:

Program.cs 
int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

try
  {

    if (value < 0 || value > 20)
    {
        throw new System.Exception();
    }
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}",value));
  }

catch
  {
    Console.WriteLine("Value is out of range");
  }

I've given this another go and I updated the code. I think I'm annoyingly close to the solution but I simply don't understand why it's not working. I'm pretty sure I got the logic right.
