XP “Visual Styles” Manifests in Visual Studio 2005

I’ve been doing some work in Visual Studio 2005 and it no longer supports embedding your XML manifest file through resources. Instead you have to specify some additional manifest dependencies – because of course that’s easier?!

I can never remember how to do this and rather than duplicate the information here, I’ll link to Jim Mathies’ helpful post: Manifest Dependencies in Visual Studio 2005

    It is still possible to use manifests in resources: just disable the auto-generation (e.g. by setting “Generate Manifest” to “no”). Note: I am still undecided whether I like the new way or not.
