Trying to build solution (debug it) and recieving an error saying the .exe is missing

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace as2
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      int id = 0, stock = 0, published = 0, newstock = 0;
      double price = 0.00;
      string type = " ", title = " ", author = " ";

      Program inventroy = new Program();
      inventroy.read_one_record(id, stock, published, 
        price, type, title, author);

      Console.WriteLine("Update Number In Stock");
      Console.WriteLine("=======================");
      Console.Write("Item ID: ");
      Console.Write(id);
      Console.WriteLine("Item Type: ");
      Console.Write(type);
    }

    void read_one_record(int id, int stock, int published, 
      double price, string type, string title, string author)
    {
      StreamReader myFile = File.OpenText("Inventory.dat");

      id = myFile.Read();
      stock = myFile.Read();
      published = myFile.Read();
      stock = myFile.Read();
      price = myFile.Read();
      type = myFile.ReadLine();
      title = myFile.ReadLine();
      author = myFile.ReadLine();

      myFile.Close();
    }

    void write_one_record(int id, int newstock, 
      int published, double price, string type, 
      string title, string author)
    {
      StreamWriter myFile = File.OpenWrite("Inventory.dat");

      myFile.WriteLine(id);
      myFile.WriteLine(newstock);
      myFile.WriteLine(published);
      myFile.WriteLine(price);
      myFile.WriteLine(type);
      myFile.WriteLine(title);
      myFile.WriteLine(author);

      myFile.Close();
    }
  }
}

Code is meant to open an inventory file, pull in the info, pass it back to main where in main I will ask the user to update the stock #. Then pass that number to writefunction where it writes it. For some reason when I try to launch to see if it works (code is not 100$ complete yet should still compile). It says something along the lines that the projects .exe is missing and cannot debug.

You're not getting an EXE because you have an error in your code at the line

StreamWriter myFile = File.OpenWrite("Inventory.dat");

A FileStream isn't the same as a StreamWriter, but you can create a StreamWriter using

StreamWriter myFile = new StreamWriter(File.OpenWrite("Inventory.dat"));
