Well it depends
1. if you want to give your database access to your client then you can attach database file .bak or throught .mdf file in installed SQL Express on client computer simply
and change the path in web.config. (the connection String should be there as you have done development on it)
2. host you application in IIS server on client computer, again it depends whether you want to give client access to whole code.

be more specific with your requirements so that members can help you accordingly.

i do not know what you mean but i want to this software can run in customer computer and user(customer) can access to database(every thing created in software) like insert update and delete commands in database file.

Okay in that case make .msi or .exe of you project. you can also get the files from release folder eg .exe file or .dll files, there is also files like .dll.config. copy those files and place it customer computer.
In sql , the same way as mentioned above, create a .bak file and restore it.
