Question

I have this code from a coworker (probably got it from the web somewhere) but he’s out on vacation and I need to add this 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’m using Visual Studio 2010

In Visual Studio 2010 and possibly in future versions you can add the manifest file to your project.

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

The file name is app.manifest.

If this item doesn’t exist then your project type is not conform with a manifest file, e.g. web application.
