Visual Studio 2008 / manifest

Hi,

I have an application that needs to be run as administrator. The server it will be run on is Windows 2008 r2. Normally, I could right click the shortcut and choose run as administrator. I understand that with .NET apps I need to use a a manifest...

Which leads to my problem. I'm trying to add a manifest to my application. I've tried right clicking my solution and the project, but that doesn't show as an item. I'm using visual studio 2008 pro. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Ok, solved the issue.

Went into the Project Properties page.

Under The application tab, I chose 'View Uac Settings'
This brings up a file app.manifest (I think this is the manifest?) Anyway, it has this:

Code:

---

  <requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
        <!-- UAC Manifest Options
            If you want to change the Windows User Account Control level replace the
            requestedExecutionLevel node with one of the following.

        <requestedExecutionLevel  level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />
        <requestedExecutionLevel  level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
        <requestedExecutionLevel  level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="false" />

            If you want to utilize File and Registry Virtualization for backward
            compatibility then delete the requestedExecutionLevel node.
        -->
        <requestedExecutionLevel  level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
      </requestedPrivileges>

---

I just cut and pasted:

Code:

---

    <requestedExecutionLevel  level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
      </requestedPrivileges>

---

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
</requestedPrivileges>

An it works. Thanks for looking.
