I have made a project on c# using VS2010 and Sql-Server 2005.
Now I am making a "read me" file and I want to add software requirements in it.

I think .net framework, sqlserver.

Am I right and are they enough?

yeah exactly, in this you can define the prerequisites of your software. And the user will be asked to install these prerequisites before installing your software.
