>>I am trying to make a utility library that reports exceptions. When I call the method, I want to get the calling application's name. In Winforms, I can get this by using Assembly.GetEntryAssembly. This same method doesn't work for Webforms. Anybody know a way to consistently do this in .NET? Thanks!

Paul,
I am finally getting back to this - sorry for the delay.
It seems this returns a collection of StackFrames. I can iterate through the collection and see the assembly.classname value that I need. The problem is - I don't know how to programatically find exactly which StackFrame I need before it dives into the system classes.
