From solution explorer, choose each file that you need to include in the publish and in the properties of the file set Copy to Output Directory to true. This way your files will be included in bin\debug folder of your application in their current folder names.

Then if you want to use Publish command, go to properties of the project, in publish tab, click on Application Files and check Show All Files and change the Publish Status of the files you need to Include.

Pay attention, if your file's Build Action is Embedded Resource then you don't need to do anything else to include in the publish because it's included (embedded) in resources of your application.
