231,007 PointsYou're pretty close.
But it looks like you're pasting in code you found somewhere else instead of writing it specifically for this challenge. That's not going to help you learn as much as doing it yourself!
But here's some hints.
- you have an if statement that the challenge did not ask for
- the challenge asked you to use fileName as the argument for StreamReader, but you have file.FullName
