GenerateApplicationManifest Class
This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Implements the GenerateApplicationManifest task. Use the GenerateApplicationManifest element in the project file to create and execute this task. For usage and parameter information, see GenerateApplicationManifest Task.
MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.

Remarks
EntryPoint is an optional ITaskItem[] parameter that indicates the entry point for the generated manifest assembly. For a ClickOnce deployment manifest, this input specifies the ClickOnce application manifest.
In Visual Studio 2005, the GenerateApplicationManifest Task requires an EntryPoint when an application manifest is generated. (Assembly or native manifests do not require an EntryPoint.) This requirement is enforced by the build error "MSB3185: EntryPoint not specified for manifest."
In Visual Studio 2008, MSBuild does not issue this error when the EntryPoint task parameter is not specified. Instead, the <customHostSpecified> tag is inserted as a child of the <entryPoint> tag, for example, as follows.
<entryPoint xmlns="urn:schemas-
microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<co.v1:customHostSpecified />
</entryPoint>
You can add DLL dependencies to the application manifest by using the following steps:
Resolve the references in the assembly by using a call to ResolveAssemblyReference.
Pass the output of the previous task and the assembly itself to ResolveManifestFiles.
Pass the dependencies by using the Dependencies parameter to GenerateApplicationManifest.
