How to create / edit manifest file?

Question

I have this code from a colleague (maybe he got it from the Internet somewhere), but he went on vacation, and I need to add it to the manifest file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <asmv1:assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" name="MyApplication" /> <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2"> <security> <requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" /> </requestedPrivileges> </security> </trustInfo> </asmv1:assembly> 

I am relatively new to this, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am using Visual Studio 2010

Answer 1

In Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017, you can add a manifest file to your project.

Right-click the project file in Solution Explorer, select " Add , then" New item (or CTRL + SHIFT + A). There you can find Application Manifest File .

The file name is app.manifest .

Answer 2

As pointed out in ibram, add the manifest via explorer:

This creates a default manifest. Now edit the manifest.

• Update the name assemblyIdentity as your application.
• Ask users to trust your application

• Add Supported OS

Answer 3

Go to the obj folder in your application folder, then debug. There, delete the manifest file and recreate it. It worked for me.

Answer 4

The easiest way to create a manifest:

Project properties-> Security → Click "enable ClickOnce security settings" (it will generate a default manifest in the properties of your project) → then click it again to clear this check box → open your app.maifest and edit it as you wish.
