As long as you don't have shares on the web server open to people to connect to and have removed sample applications on 
the server and run iislock down then you should be ok to stop them downloading the code.

Only by putting ntfs security permissions on the clients server so only the webserver can access it, but the client 
would have to do it, and they could easily remove it by taking ownership....of course they'd need a logon and/or 
network connectivity to the box.....or physical access to the server, boot from a knoppix cd for example and then look 
at the web pages bypassing the permissions that way.
