Problem: C# 2.0 doesn't imbed a UAC manifest in the EXE files that it
produces.
Problem: The suggested solution on MSDN is unworkable (manually opening the
EXE using VS as a resource editor and inserting the manifet resource).
Problem: Changing the C# project to explicitly link a .RES file suppresses
the generation of the native VS_VERSIONINFO resource by the C# compiler.
All in all, MS made it harder than necessary to produce a Vista-compliant
EXE from C# 2.0.
So how have people solved this problem?
It seems like some kind of command-line tool to insert the manifest resource
after the fact would be a good solution - there are a variety of such tools
on that market, all of which seem overpriced for such a simple task.
Any free tools out there that can insert a manifest resource into an
existing EXE?

Carl, the Windows SDK comes with a tool called the "Microsoft (R) Manifest
Tool" the PE file is: mt.exe.
You can use this tool to embed a manifest in a post build step in VS2005.
VS2008 supports this by default, see the project settings.

OK, I wondered if mt.exe could do what I need. I'll take a look at the docs
for it. Glad to hear that they got this sorted out in VS2008 - it's a bit
of a pain in VS2005.

So far, nothing but disaster. I tried a different manifest fragment using
the v2 schema. That is acceptable to mt.exe, but the resulting EXE file
doesn't run, failing with "Configurat ion System Failed to Initialize".
That's after re-signing the EXE with sn.exe too.
Can anyone post a simple, complete example of embedding a manifest in a C#
exe file that's sufficient to let the app run 'asInvoker' on Vista?

Yeah, I'd found that one previously. Not a very automatable solution. I'll
stick with the post-build step. It does the job and it's all integrated
into my FinalBuilder-based product build.

I am trying to wrap a native-C++ DLL in managed C++, to
use in a .NET project.
The native code is compiled into a DLL, and I have created
a .def file that exports the mangled names of the symbols
I am going to use from the wrapper library.
The wrapper library has the code written that uses the
native classes, and wraps them to present an equivalent of
their interface for .NET.

Hi Gurus
I got a very basic question to ask:
When a .NET exe (MSIL) is first run, the JIT-compiler will converts the IL
into native codes so that it can executes on the current machine. my
question is:
1) where does the native codes reside? is it saved somewhere in the hard
drive or it will only resides in the memory? or does the JIT compiler writes

I can't ignore the speed of .NET managed applications in manipulating

heavy operations, like long loops, graphics, load time and many other
issues.
The dream is; having an intermediate language (IL) run in the virtual

Hey all. I'm a bit new to the language and I'm trying to figure out how to

I've run into a problem interfacing with a native dll method where one or

of contiguous memory. So, for example, the method as exported from the

We have a class that is a basic wrapper around a native 3rd party C

We created an NUnit test against the wrapper and it passes fine the
first time. However, when we run the tests again, it always fails
with a NullReferenceException within the native DLL (or on the call to
it, not sure which).
Since NUnit works by creating a new AppDomain each time it runs a

I'd like to announce release 1.0.7 of JNEXT (JavaScript Native
Extensions). JNEXT is an open source framework for securely accessing
the full range of native OS resources (files, databases, sockets etc.)
by using JavaScript from within a Web Page. It is light weight, cross
platform, cross browser and designed with simplicity in mind.
