Use the provided fileName variable to create a new StreamReader object named reader. Wrap the reader object with a using statement to ensure it is properly closed.
I think I'm pretty close but can't recognize the syntax, please would like someone's input on this matter?
DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
string fileName = Path.Combine(directory.FullName, "secretmessage.txt");
{
var reader = new StreamReader(file.FullName);
Console.SetIn(reader);
}

You forgot to "Wrap the reader object with a using"
Plus, you didn't "Use the provided fileName variable" but somehow came up with something not defined.
Anyway, doing both will give you something like this:
using (var reader = new StreamReader(fileName))
{
}
Also note that at this step, there's no contents yet inside the using.
