How to add manifest to a .NET DLL?

Question

I have a c# class library project that uses a COM dll registered on the system. I now want to deploy the COM dll as a side-by-side assembly, so I don\'t have to register it,

Answer 1

In most applications, a manifest is typically applied to EXEs/host apps - as this is the level at which one understands how all the dependent assemblies and their capabilities mesh together.

For example, in the case of setting the UAC marker via the trustinfo/security/requestedPrivileges/requestedExecutionLevel element, the case of a dependent assembly legitimately being able to say "I say we all understand about UAC" doesn't make sense.
