Unable to get code to compile

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {            
            string input = Console.ReadLine();

            if (input == "quit")
            {
               Console.WriteLine ("Goodbye.");
            }
            else
            {
           Console.WriteLine ( "You entered " + input + "."); 
            }
    }
}
