This depends on your project settings. If you view them, it can tell you where they are. – crashmstr Mar 14 '14 at 19:02

Your source code is the code you have written. This is stored wherever you've chosen to store you solution file. I believe the default location is:
C:\Users\{user}\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\{Project folder}
Your object code is the output from building your application. When you build in Visual Studio, the files are put into a \obj folder in the same location as your source code.
Here is a pretty good basic explanation of the two states of code: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/object-code

You'll be able to read the source code in any text viewer. The object code will not be legible in any way. – James Curtis Mar 26 '14 at 22:10

[Project Directory]\obj\ for the compiled, but not linked code and
[Project Directory]\bin\ for the compiled and linked code.
I imagine that you're looking for the latter in this case.

Please take a look to this What are the obj and bin folders (created by Visual Studio) used for?
Also if you click on a project and press the top button "Show all files" you will be able to see and access those files.
