Simply create a setup and deployment project.

...yes, a build of the setup file is a separate kind of project. What have you done so far? Please see VS project templates (if you are using Visual Studio).

nothing so far.
i do not know how to add my database table to the setup file

When you create a setup project, Visual Studio will give you an option to add any items. Just start doing it, ask more specific questions if you have issues.

at the final setup file,the mdf file and exe file will be package in single file or mdf file will be seperate file?

If you create MSI or self-unpack EXE, all will be packed in one file.

In addition to above answers (if you're using visual studio express edition you can't create a setup projectmonly above visual studio professional),I prefer InnoSetup.

From the solution which you develop your application, right click then add new project->Other project types->Setup and deployment->setup wizard.
This will create for you ClickOnce installation project which let you setup your application on any client machine.
Once you accept the default settings, you'll be able to deliver the .msi package, but if your application has some special configuration, prerequisites assemblies, etc.. You'll need to add your specific configuration in setup wizard project.
