how to secure asp.net code?

[Isabella]

I am writing a web site for my client using asp.net. But I don't want him to
able to read the code and reuse it in future. How can I protect the code
and still give him a copy? Any idea? just wild guess like compiling the
project into .exe, component or dll. I have no idea. Please advise!

Encapsulate your code in a dll you can just put all your function in the dll
and you can call it or send parameters to it when you need it
but the truth is there is nothing secure in a computer

You need an obfuscator. There are lots of them:

While using DLL's are the first step in protecting intellectual property...
any "binary" that runs under the CRL can be automatically 'decompiled',
becouse they are basicaly IL (intermediate language) that is interpreted by
the .net framework before (or during) running the code.

But there is a lot of third-party programs called 'obfuscators' to counter
that posibility.

Look the previous answer of Ken Cox for more references on this.

You forgot to mention that there's a free obfuscator available at
