Description

It's possible to add application manifest to C# project using line:

files { "app.manifest" }

And this generates into .csproj xml file:

<None Include="app.manifest" />

into .csproj , which is ok. But generation is missing also:

<ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport> <WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup> <ApplicationManifest>app.manifest</ApplicationManifest> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <Reference Include="System" /> <Reference Include="System.Core" /> <Reference Include="System.Data" />

PropertyGroup & ApplicationManifest tags.

Is there any way to walk around this missing feature while you add it ?

Research direction
Examine the C# project generation script in the modules directory and add logic to include the ApplicationManifest property group when a manifest file is specified.
