Does anyone know how to declare Manifest Files in the Visual Studio IDE for C#?

I followed the steps outlined here for including a manifest file:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944276
Does it matter if the manifest file is in the directory where the
source code is or should it be in the directory where the executable
code is?

Someone has suggested I set BuildAction to "Embedded Resource". But I cannot find where this is set in the properties. Can you? In which panel is the BuildAction?

It seems there is more than one way to use Manifest Files with C#. I would like to know them all.

If you followed that guide (the one on support.microsoft.com) it should've worked. Did it not work? If so, any errors or specific problems?

In VB, the manifest file has to be the same as the executable file, incl. extension, + ".manifest" It must be in the same directory. That works, but the way I prefer is to embed it. I think you do that by selecting the manifest file in the Solution Explorer and looking at the Properties bar.

I'm actually not a C# programmer at all, but thanks anyway!


Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 automatically use visual styles, but you can set it not to for a specific project. Also, you can use APIs to instantly change whether or not the title bar or the client area or web content use visual styles.
