Can a prog find its own Name?

[Barry Flynn]

Win Forms program - VB 2005.

I am converting a VB6 program to VB 2005.
The program wants to know its own name - ie the name of the .exe that has
been executed.
It gets this from App.exename

In VB 2005, I have replaced this with My.Application.Info.AssemblyName.
However, if the program has been renamed after it was Built, that returns
the name it was Built as, rather than the name of the .exe that has actually
been executed.

Is the name of the actual .exe available?

Thanks

Will this work?

[C#]
System.Diagnostics.Process p =
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess();
String n = p.ProcessName;
