How to give my C# app administrative rights? manifest file

Question

Hi.

I'm having some trouble with my C# app that uses win32_networkingadapterconfig. The problem is that I can't use the altering functions in win32_networkingadapterconfig when I use the app on a user that dont have admin rights. I have tried to "run as administrator", but no luck. And I have tried to make a manifestfile with this content in the trustInfo part:

<security>
  <applicationRequestMinimum>
    <PermissionSet class="System.Security.PermissionSet" version="1" Unrestricted="true" ID="Custom" SameSite="site" />
    <defaultAssemblyRequest permissionSetReference="Custom" />
  </applicationRequestMinimum>
  <requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

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

  </requestedPrivileges>
</security>

Enable clickone security settings are set to full trust. What am I doing wrong ?

There's a "trustinfo" dangling in your snippet. Make it look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<asmv1:assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;
  <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" name="MyApplication.app"/>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
        <requestedExecutionLevel  level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</asmv1:assembly>
