.NET - x86 Project - What files need to get pushed to the production machine?

What files need to get pushed to the production machine for a console app?  You'll notice the app.config file is missing.  I didn't use one in this project.

AutoEmail.application - Don't think I include.
AutoEmail.exe - Include
AutoEmail.exe.config - Not sure
AutoEmail.exe.manifest - Not sure.
AutoEmail.pdb - Not needed if I don't need to debug the deployment.
AutoEmail.vshost.application - Not sure.
AutoEmail.vshost.exe - Don't think I need it.
AutoEmail.vshost.exe.config - Don't think I need it.
AutoEmail.vshost.exe.manifest - Don't think I need it.
AutoEmail.xml - Not sure.

Obviously, if I overcompensate, and deploy all or many of these files, it will work.  My objective, however, is to deploy only what's necessary.

James,

Your response is one of the best EE responses I've ever seen (and I've seen quite a few).  I've incorporated the full posting into my .NET lesson.  

Thanks!
