Is my class library is it possible to get the calling assembly's executable
full name, or the Url if it is being linked from an ASP?

Thanks,
Joe

TIA,

Check the docs for Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() which returns an assembly
object and the Location property which gets the location of the loaded file.

Oops, replace GetExecutingAssembly() with GetCallingAssembly()

Surely you want the CodeBase not the Location. The codebase is the logical
location is was loaded from not the physicaly which can be affected by
shadow copying
