Releasing software with project files included. Not happening

I have a C# application that I'm writing that has a Directory, including some XML documents, that doesn't get published to the release folder.

When I compile the project in release mode,the directory does not get coppied over. Is there something I'm not setting?

The project is 3 tiered, and my main (presentation) has the directory included in the project.

Do the xml files get published to the debug folder when you build it in debug mode?

No they don't. I have to copy it there manually.


I only have the one exe, and 3 dll's when i build it.

Is there a way of setting it up so I get :

RootFolder/MyExe.exe
RootFolder/Bin/All Dll's
RootFolder/Data/XML Files

That would be ideal, but it's a small project so building an install is pointless. I mainly develope in ASP.NET and hardly touch the client side, but we need this small app to run on our servers to Support the ASP site.
