Distribute ASP.net Application

I have an ASP.NET application and i selling it to different companies. I change the application settings according to the company information and publish the whole application to a output folder. And then take the output folder to clients machine with necessary dlls(My application dll and few third party dlls). I am wondering if it is possible for anyone to decompile the code from the dll's in bin folder and get the application code? Is there any standard process i need to follow so the my code are safe in client server.

You would need to obfuscate the dlls created for your project, but there are some issues with that related to ASP.NET. See this stackoverflow post

Rather than Xcopy deploy, you should look have a look at web deployment projects for your deployment - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163448.aspx.

If you need to protect your assemblies from reverse engineering, you need to look at an obfuscator like http://www.preemptive.com/products/dotfuscator/overview
