Properties

AssemblyIdentity	Specifies the identity of the manifest.
AssemblyName	Assembly name passed to the manifest generation task
AssemblyReferences	Specifies the set of assemblies referenced by the manifest.
Description	Specifies a textual description for the manifest.
EntryPoint	Identifies an assembly reference which is the entry point of the application.
FileReferences	Specifies the set of files referenced by the manifest.
InputStream	The input stream from which the manifest was read. Used by ManifestWriter to reconstitute input which is not represented in the object representation.
LauncherBasedDeployment	Indicates if manifest is part of Launcher-based deployment, which requires somewhat different manifest generation and validation.
OutputMessages	Contains a collection of current error and warning messages.
ReadOnly	Specifies whether the manifest is operating in read-only or read-write mode. If only using to read a manifest then set this flag to true. If using to write a new manifest then set this flag to false. The default is false. This flag provides additional context for the manifest generator, and affects how some error messages are reported.
SourcePath	Specifies the location where the manifest was loaded or saved.
XmlAssemblyIdentity	Gets or sets a property that is used to serialize the AssemblyIdentity property to an XML file.
XmlAssemblyReferences	Gets or sets a property that is used to serialize the AssemblyReferences property to an XML file.
XmlDescription	Gets or sets a property that is used to serialize the Description property to an XML file.
XmlFileReferences	Gets or sets a property that is used to serialize the FileReferences property to an XML file.
XmlSchema	Gets or sets a property that is used to serialize the schema to an XML file.

Methods

ResolveFiles()	Locates all specified assembly and file references by searching in the same directory as the loaded manifest, or in the current directory. The location of each referenced assembly and file is required for hash computation and assembly identity resolution. Any resulting errors or warnings are reported in the OutputMessages collection.
ResolveFiles(String[])	Locates all specified assembly and file references by searching in the specified directories. The location of each referenced assembly and file is required for hash computation and assembly identity resolution. Any resulting errors or warnings are reported in the OutputMessages collection.
ToString()	Returns the manifest name.
UpdateFileInfo()	Updates file information for each referenced assembly and file. The file information includes a hash computation and a file size for each referenced file and assembly. Also, the assembly identity is obtained for any referenced assemblies with an unspecified assembly identity. Any resulting errors or warnings are reported in the OutputMessages collection.
UpdateFileInfo(String)	Updates file information for each referenced assembly and file, using the specified version of the target framework.
Validate()	Performs various checks to verify the validity of the manifest. Any resulting errors or warnings are reported in the OutputMessages collection.
ValidatePlatform()	Validates the manifest platform.
