How do I create/edit a Manifest file?

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>
    </tr开发者_开发百科ustInfo>
</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.

As ibram stated, add the manifest thru solution explorer:

This creates a default manifest. Now, edit the manifest.

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

• Add supported OS

The simplest way to create a manifest is:

1. Project Properties -> Security -> Click "enable ClickOnce security settings"
   (it will generate default manifest in your project Properties)
2. then Click it again in order to uncheck that Checkbox
3. open your app.maifest and edit it as you wish.

In Visual Studio 2019 WinForm Projects, it is available under

Project Properties -> Application -> View Windows Settings (button)

In Visual Studio 2022 WinForm Project, it is also available under

Project Properties -> Application:

Go to obj folder in you app folder, then Debug. In there delete the manifest file and build again. It worked for me.
