What is the build path for .Net Core/ASP5 application?

I'm developing an MVC6, .Net Core (dnx 451) web application where I've encountered a .dllnotfound exception.

Can anyone please tell me what is the build path for .net core/asp5 apps, so I can check the directory for the required .dll? Or how can I find out the build path? because it's not listed on properties window in Visual Studio?

My Project Directory - 

C:\Users\eashan\Documents\FinalApp1

artifacts
src
FinalApp1.sln
global.json

I'm just looking to find out about the build path used in .Net Core/ASP5 web apps, but if anyone really wants to see more details about the error (Posted on StackOverflow)

Cheers

Specific Answers

Can anyone please tell me what is the build path for .net core/asp5 apps...

The build path is ..\artifacts\bin\YourProjectName.

...how can I find out the build path?

Open the .xproj file in a text editor. Look at the following sections.

<BaseIntermediateOutputPath 
  Condition="'$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)'=='' ">..\artifacts\obj\$(MSBuildProjectName)
</BaseIntermediateOutputPath>
<OutputPath 
    Condition="'$(OutputPath)'=='' ">..\artifacts\bin\$(MSBuildProjectName)\
</OutputPath>

...so I can check the directory for the required .dll?

To view DLLs, ask Visual Studio to produce outputs on build. Step (3) is the key.

  1. File > New Project > Visual C# > Web > ASP.NET Web Application
  2. ASP.NET 5 Templates > Empty
  3. Properties Alt + Enter > Build > Produce outputs on build.
  4. Build the project.

Product outputs on build

Example Build Result

C:/temp/
  artifacts/
    bin/
      WebApplication1/
        Debug/
          app/
            project.json
            dnx451
              WebApplication1.dll
              WebApplication1.pdb
              WebApplication1.xml

              WebApplication1.pdb
              WebApplication1.xml
            WebApplication1.1.0.0.nupkg
            WebApplication1.1.0.0.symbols.nupkg

There isn't build directory, ASP.Net Core is build in memory with Roslyn
However, you can produce binaries with dnu commands: dnu build, dnu pack or dnu publish
Check out this Wiki page for more information
