what does it mean by first line of the file
DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
string fileName = Path.Combine(directory.FullName, "secretmessage.txt");
using (var reader = new StreamReader(fileName));
{
Console.SetIn("secretmessage.txt");
Console.WriteLine(Console.Readline());
}
Console.ReadLine();

2) Readline should be ReadLine.
3) You don't need that second Console.ReadLine at the bottom.
Hope that helps!
