From first glance, your count variable in the loop is uppercase. It should be lowercase.

Be careful with methods and ensure you are using the correct case. This will cause errors. Methods and variables are case sensitive. 

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            int repeat = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            while(repeat > 0){
              Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
              repeat--;
            }

        }
    }
}

that is how I would approach it. Any questions just ask me.

Also noticed you are using var. I wouldn't recommend using var unless you have a very good reason.

Or you can use this while(count <= repeat){ Console.Writeline("Yay!"); count++; } Or a for loop for(int i=0; i < repeat ; i++){ Console.Writeline("Yay!"); }
