Get the name of the EXE currently running

[crystalkiwibruce]

I've got a VB 2010 project with a Main Application and a DLL with some common shared code I plan to use in other applications.

Inside the DLL code, I'd like to retrieve the name of the actual EXE currently running. I can get the name of the DLL, but I'd like the higher level EXE name as a string to place in a diagnostics file. Version Numbers would also be useful.

If these are all going to be .NET applications, this will return the name of the assembly calling the dll:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name
