I cannot find the dlls. Visual Studio does not tell you where they are stored. I want to load them into .net Reflector.

I know this is an old question, but if you're looking for these then check out the following location...
C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App
Under there should be versions of .NET Core, and these are the runtime assemblies you'll need to load in Refelctor to see the source code.
Note - if you use an assembly reference from within Visual Studio (by maybe clicking F12 on a .NET Core datatype or interface), that will show the reference assembly and not the implementation assembly.
As an example, hitting F12 on ControllerBase gives me this...
C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Ref\3.1.0\ref\netcoreapp3.1\
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core.dll
This is not the runtime assembly you need when using Reflector. GitHub is all fair and good for finding source code to one method, but you can't beat Reflector when you want to move between different classes in different files so as to work through an implementation pathway.
Hope this helps!
You can set them up I properties. They are still in the bin folder once the code is compiled. Although if you are planning on using the dll directly you can publish then first
