can get my code to work as my continue statement is not restarting the loop

I am lost on why I get an error code for my code not working. I can see its to do with my continue statement but its almost identical to similar code I have written and cannot make out what I am missing for it to run correctly.

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {

             try
                {
                Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
                    int counter = 0;
                    String times = Console.ReadLine();
                    int totals = int.Parse(times);                    
                    if (totals < 0)
                        {
                        Console.Write("You must enter a positive number");
                        continue;
                        }
                    else 
                    {
                     while (counter < totals)
                         {
                         Console.Write("\"Yay\"! ");
                         counter = counter + 1;
                         } 
                    }

                  }


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

        }
    }
}

When you declared the variable times you capitalized String, you should write it all lower case instead 'string times = ...' (instead of 'String times = ...').
