C#.NET: Acquire administrator rights?

Question

Is it possible in a C#.NET application to request administrative rights on a Windows 7 PC?

I want to be able to deploy the application via Click Once and have users use it to perform administrative tasks (in this case it is writing registry entries for the main application).

Does this address your question?

Here is another one that appears to explain the same thing:
