I have developed an asp.net MVC4 and i want to sell it to a costumer but i will install it on his server IIS8 .

I have installed it on iis8 and it run perfect from remote and local machine. But any body can see my code in the server machine.

I tried to use permission file but any body can modify it.

How can i protect my code and don't allow other to see it?

    Don't host it on their servers. – hatchet - done with SOverflow May 16 '14 at 16:51
  • you should not host your solution in their servers, [AppHarbor](http://AppHarbor.com) for example is free and it will give you everything you need, including free database and several other services to improve your web application – balexandre May 16 '14 at 17:45
  • i know that's bad to host on their server but the costumer can't use internet : it's intranet solution. @balexandre thank you for AppHarbor I like it – moezsm May 17 '14 at 08:18
  • @moezsm then the best way would be to create a Windows Application to be installed in the server and then the web application would be simply use as a client, all stuff will happen in the windows app in the server, as you could expose API so all clients could connect. – balexandre May 17 '14 at 09:35
  • The real problem is that the customer haven't internet access he want to use only his local intranet structure (old structure) – moezsm May 17 '14 at 10:50

It depends how you install it. You can deploy Precompiled application output. This option will not include the source code and you can have a merged assembly dll or single page wise assembly in bin folder. This link can be helpul, check this out.

Edit

If you want more than a precompiled option which can be decompiled. You can read this answer to figure out how you can achieve the goal.

After compile your application, you can publish only the necessary, the folders "Controllers, Models, obj, Properties, Filters and App_Start" no longer required, those folders are included in yourApp.dll file in "Bin" folder
