MSN weather powerapps

I'm working on a weather application using PowerApps as part of a homework assignment. I'm facing challenges while trying to integrate information from your site, as I'm encountering several errors. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in identifying where I may have made a mistake. For instance, when I use the following code:
OnSelect = UpdateContext(
{
WeatherForecast: MSNWeather.CurrentWeather(
txtSearchLocation.Text,
rdUnits.Selected.Value
)
}
)
I encounter an error. Any guidance you can provide would be extremely helpful. Thank you!

The code you’ve shared seems to be trying to update the context with the current weather information for a location specified by txtSearchLocation.Text and units specified by rdUnits.Selected.Value.

Here are a few things you could check:

Check the Data Source: Make sure that MSNWeather is properly connected as a data source in your PowerApps application. You can check this in the View > Data sources menu in PowerApps Studio.
Check the Function Parameters: The MSNWeather.CurrentWeather function expects two parameters: location (a string) and units (a string). Make sure that txtSearchLocation.Text and rdUnits.Selected.Value are providing the correct values. units should be either "Metric" or "Imperial".
Check the Control Names: Ensure that txtSearchLocation and rdUnits are the correct names of the controls in your app. PowerApps is case sensitive, so make sure the control names match exactly.
Check for Errors in the App: PowerApps Studio will show a red ‘x’ icon next to any errors in your app. Click on this icon to see more details about the error.

If you’ve checked all of these and you’re still encountering errors, it would be helpful if you could provide more details about the error message you’re seeing. This will help in diagnosing the issue further.

Thanks
