Everything the users needs should be installed in the installation and setup package you create.

What installer are you using?

If you are using ADO.Net then it's part of framework so to answer your question if you did not use any third party's components then all that's needed is included in the appropriate framework.
Regardless (and as Hack already mentioned) I would package project just to make sure all dependencies are included.
You can use packaging utility that comes with Visual Studio - add to your solution new project and select Setup (or similar). Then follow some steps...

What SQL are you using in your app? An Access database, SQL Express, SQL Server etc?

If you are using SQL Server database then you will need to have your customers purchase SQL Server for their network to run on one of their servers. Or you could use the MSDE trimmed down version of SQL Server (It just doesnt come with Enterprise Manager) and deploy that as its free.
