Simple question!

[fireemt1]

Here is a simple question, if you know what your doing. Obviously I dont. Trying to learn C#, but for some reason, I cant get the 2nd ReadLine block of code to work in the following code. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

using System;

namespace MyConsoleApplication
{
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
//display "Hello World!" on the screen
System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"

//display the current date and time
System.Console.WriteLine("The date and time is " + System.DateTime.Now);

//displays user to enter a character, assigns variable with char and displays
System.Console.Write("Please enter a character: "
char userInput = (char) System.Console.Read();
System.Console.WriteLine("You entered the letter " + userInput);


//displays user to enter string, assigns variable with string and displays
System.Console.Write("Enter a string: "
string myString = System.Console.ReadLine();
System.Console.WriteLine("You entered " + myString);



}
}
}

Sorry, I wasnt clear enough. What happens is the 2nd readline() doesnt seem to try and capture any input. This is what is shows on the screen

Enter a string: You entered
---program ends---

using System;

namespace MyConsoleApplication
{
  class Class1
    {
      [STAThread]
      public static void Main()
        {

        char userInput;
	string myString;

        //display "Hello World!" on the screen
        Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
            
        //display the current date and time
        Console.WriteLine
          ("The date and time is {0}", System.DateTime.Now);
        
       //displays user to enter a character
       //assigns variable with char and displays
       Console.Write("Please enter a character: ");
            userInput = Char.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
       Console.WriteLine
               ("You entered the letter {0}", userInput);

       //displays user to enter string
       //assigns variable with string and displays
        Console.Write("Enter a string: ");
            myString = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine("You entered {0}",myString);
             
	Console.Read();    
        }
    }
}

This should work.
