C# Run Program as Administrator

Question

I want to run my program as administrator.

I compiled the application in Visual Studio already.

Do i can create app.manifest file manually without opening Visual Studio, or place the app.manifest file in my file directory to run it as administrator?

Answer 1

The manifest file is automatically generated by Visual Studio for applications (that contains app GUID of application and other things similar). And I don't guess if another manifest will be valid for your application.

There's one method to do so, but that also requires Visual Studio referring to this thread of SO. And remember, the data for the manifest creation should be valid for the application, otherwise it's not guaranteed to be working.
