c sharp exe should ask for "run as administrator" prompt when opened

Question

I am having an exe generated by a c sharp program. when i run the exe, i want an UAC prompt to appear with an option to run the exe as administrator. I have seen examples of running an exe as admin by default. But, how do i enable the UAC to ask me for running the exe as admin? Any idea?
