In my previous post about windows (metro
style application in asp.net 4.5), I showed you, what metro style
application is and how you can build it using asp.net 4.5 in Visual Studio 2011.
Metro application also has one file (you must have noticed) appmanifest.
Appmanifest is nothing it's a just manifest file of your metro application, it
automatically added whenever you create a new project from metro application.
Appmanifest file is an xml based file which contains all metadata information
about the application such as version name; logo details file size, packaging
and deployment settings etc.

Once you double click on appmanifest file you will see the following tabs

- Application UI Tab - In this tab,
you can set properties of your projects which can be used to identify your
project later on.
- Capabilities Tab - here you can
define the capabilities of your application
- Declaration Tab - you can use this
tab to add declaration and specify their properties.
- Packaging Tab - This is very
important tab, which plays an important role at the time of deployment of
your project, here you can set the properties that identify and describe
your application at the time of deployment.
And the best part is Visual studio write xml
for you by own.
