Challenge Task 2 of 3 - Input Validation Help

Not sure where to go next with this one. Nothing I put in "Try" resolves the Format Exception errors. It sucks because I blew through step one.

Program.cs
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            var entry = Console.ReadLine();
            var yayCount = int.Parse(entry);
            int loopCount = 0;
            while (true)
            {

                //Prints "Yay!" to the screen the number of times entered
                Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                //Keep track of how many times the loop has run
                loopCount += 1;

              if (loopCount == yayCount)
                {
                    break;
                }

                try
                {
                }

                catch(FormatException)
                {
                Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
                continue;
                }

            }



        }
    }
}

Never mind folks, after looking through the Community board for a bit, I figured it out. Found out what I needed to move/input into "Try".
