+---- Thread: [.NET] Ask if you want to elevate the permissions of your program or not (/showthread.php?tid=4150593)
Ask if you want to elevate the permissions of your program or not - E3zh00rn - Apr 3, 2014
This will check if your program is run as administrator, if not it will ask you to elevate the permissions or not.
Code
Private Sub frmMain_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Not My.User.IsInRole(ApplicationServices.BuiltInRole.Administrator) Then
Dim YesNo
YesNo = MsgBox("You have run the program without administrator rights, would you like to elevate permissions?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo)
If YesNo = vbNo Then
Me.Show()
Else
Dim pInf As New ProcessStartInfo
With pInf
.FileName = Application.ExecutablePath
.UseShellExecute = True
.Verb = "runas"
.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
End With
Dim p As New Process
p = Process.Start(pInf)
End
End If
End If

or simply
Code
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />in appmanifest because if you have to ask for permission then that probably means you're doing something that requires it - hence you don't need to run the application at all if they can't do it.

Thats also a way to do it, but this asks if you want to elevate the permissions.
