c# - Giving application elevated UAC -

i have application needs uac elevation.

i have code lets me give application opens twice.. issue..

so here code in form1:

 public form1()     {         initializecomponent();          windowsprincipal pricipal = new windowsprincipal(windowsidentity.getcurrent());         bool hasadministrativeright = pricipal.isinrole(windowsbuiltinrole.administrator);                     if (!hasadministrativeright)         {             processstartinfo startinfo = new processstartinfo();             startinfo.useshellexecute = true;             startinfo.workingdirectory = environment.currentdirectory;             startinfo.filename = application.executablepath;             startinfo.verb = "runas";             try             {                 process p = process.start(startinfo);             }             catch (system.componentmodel.win32exception ex)             {                 return;             }          }      } 

and code programs.cs

       static void main()     {         application.enablevisualstyles();         application.setcompatibletextrenderingdefault(false);         application.run(new form1());     } 

on debugging find out first executes

process p = process.start(startinfo);

which opens application uac elevation dialog , opens application

but goes

application.run(new form1());

in main() , opens application again.

i dont want open app again...

i new there doing wrong , need close uac once open..

thanks

you don't need meddle make sure application runs elevated privileges. can add application manifest instructs windows run app elevated, , uac prompt appear without needing write single line of code.

there's related question answer describes how add manifest here: how can embed application manifest application using vs2008?
