What is Manifest?


Assembly metadata is stored in Manifest. Manifest contains all the metadata needed to do the following things  (See Figure Manifest View for more details):
√ Version of assembly
√ Security identity
√ Scope of the assembly
√ Resolve references to resources and classes.
√ The assembly manifest can be stored in either a PE file (an .exe or .dll) with Microsoft intermediate language MSIL) code or in a stand-alone PE file that contains only assembly manifest information.
