✅ "debug executable 'location' specified in the [project] debug profile does not exist"

hello, i'm an absolute beginner with c# and am trying to work on a project for school. whenever i rebuild and try to run without debugging, visual studio gives me the error message "debug executable 'location' specified in the [project] debug profile does not exist." (location is the folder, and project is project name; i didn't list them because my professor requires it to have my full name in it and i'd prefer not to post that info online.)

this happens when i add some coding. when i remove the coding, it does open the project. i don't know what i'm doing wrong to cause this.

the project is supposed to be income tax calculator. the following is the coding i've been trying to use that causes the errors:

private void btnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    decimal TaxableIncome = Convert.ToDecimal(txtTaxableIncome.Text);
    decimal TaxOwed = Convert.ToDecimal(txtTaxOwed.Text);

    if (TaxableIncome <= 0m)
        TaxOwed = .0m;

    else if (TaxableIncome >= 0m && TaxableIncome <= 11000m)
        TaxOwed = 0m + .10m;

    else if (TaxableIncome > 11000m && TaxableIncome <= 44725)
        TaxOwed = 1100m + (TaxableIncome * .12);

    else if (TaxableIncome > 44725 && TaxableIncome <= 95375)
        TaxOwed = 5147m + (TaxableIncome * .22);

    else if (TaxableIncome > 95375 && TaxableIncome <= 182100)
        TaxOwed = 16290m + (TaxableIncome * .24);

    else if (TaxableIncome > 182100 && TaxableIncome <= 231250)
        TaxOwed = 37104m + (TaxableIncome * .32);

    else if (TaxableIncome > 231250 && TaxableIncome <= 578125)
        TaxOwed = 52832m + (TaxableIncome * .35);

    else if (TaxableIncome < 578125)
        TaxOwed = 174238.25 + (TaxableIncome * .37);
}


any and all advice appreciated, thanks so much!
