How to avoid manual editing of manifest file

Question

My VB.Net application uses isolated activeX (outer), that depends on another activeX (inner), both are using registration-free-com.

The generated manifest file contains only the information for the outer activeX. (probably because vs cannot know that the outer activeX is using inner activeX )

When I re-build my project, I always need to manually add the information for the inner activeX to the manifest file, otherwise the application only shows the outer, without the inner.

Is there a way to inform visual studio (2010) that I do not want it to re-generate the manifest file for each build?

Thanks,

Atara

Try this: /MANIFEST (Create Side-by-Side Assembly Manifest)
