How to get "excutable" name in C# of a current process

Hello,

I'm trying to get the "EXE" name of app that runs the current
window. To get the current window I use:

[ DllImport("user 32.dll") ]
private static extern
int GetForegroundWi ndow();
const int nChars = 256;
int handle = 0;
StringBuilder Buff = new StringBuilder(n Chars);

handle = GetForegroundWi ndow();
GetWindowText(h andle, Buff, nChars)

return Buff.toString() ; // Returns the title of
// current window
If this funcion returns "MSN Hotmail", for example, I want to get
"iexplorer.exe" , indicating that the current window is "ieplorer.e xe".

Thanks,

Regis

Have you tried looking through the Modules property of the result of
Process.GetCurr entProcess()?
