How can I determine the subsystem used by a given .NET assembly?

Question

In a C# application, I\'d like to determine whether another .NET application is a Console application or not.

Can this be done using the reflection APIs?

This is out of the scope of managed code. From the .NET perspective, Console and Windows UI applications are the same. You have to peek into the PE file header. Search for the word, "Subsystem" on this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/bb985997.aspx
