Application Path of Parent EXE

I have a class library (DLL) that needs to know the path of the EXE that
called it.

How can I find this out?

>Try Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().CodeBase.

Better yet:

Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().Location

This will give you a normal style file name, not a "URI"-type file
name.
