Once deployed will users have access to my code?

I am about to deploy a newly created application to PCs which are accessed by many.  What I want to know is this: will users (or anyone else that happens to sit at those PCs) be able to access my source code for the application?

If so, is it possible to prevent this?

I have looked in the solution's folder and none of those files contain anything that remotely resembles my code but I wanted to be sure.

Thanks.

dont mean to impose how can u view the code of a executable???? Like u are stating.... Is there a certain program that will do this----again not meaning to impose, u don't have to answer this, just curious.....
No imposition.  Write a simple "Hello Word" executable, open in Notepad...  You can see the method names, properties, etc.

A tool provided by Microsoft is the Ildasm.exe (MSIL Disassembler) program, provide it with a .net executable, and it'll allow you to see lots of information about the program.
