No, you really can't because the files you are talking about are DLLs or Assemblies as per dotnet notation. So, you can only see them on Disassembling them in Assembly Code Form.

Since the framework files are assembled, you can not view as a class file. However you can disassemble and look the methods that are exists for each framework library classes. Here is a free tool that helps you to do so. JustDecompile[^]
