Assembly::GetEntryAssembly Method ()

 

Gets the process executable in the default application domain. In other application domains, this is the first executable that was executed by AppDomain::ExecuteAssembly.

Namespace:   System.Reflection
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
static Assembly^ GetEntryAssembly()

Return Value

Type: System.Reflection::Assembly^

The assembly that is the process executable in the default application domain, or the first executable that was executed by AppDomain::ExecuteAssembly. Can return null when called from unmanaged code.

The GetEntryAssembly method can return null when a managed assembly has been loaded from an unmanaged application. For example, if an unmanaged application creates an instance of a COM component written in C#, a call to the GetEntryAssembly method from the C# component returns null, because the entry point for the process was unmanaged code rather than a managed assembly.
