C# Getting Parent Assembly Name of Calling Assembly

Question

I\'ve got a C# unit test application that I\'m working on. There are three assemblies involved - the assembly of the C# app itself, a second assembly that the app uses, and

Answer 1

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() is null if you run tests from nunit-console too.

If you just want the name of the executing app then use:

 System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName 

or

 Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0];

For nunit-console you would get "nunit-console" and "C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.5.10\bin\net-2.0\nunit-console.exe" respectively.
