determine programatically: Web or Windows?

[dje]

How do I determine if the current process is a Web Application
or Windows Application? I've tried:
System.Diagnostics.Process process=System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProce ss();
but it produces:
Couldn't get process information from remote machine.
Using W2K.

I am not sure whether this is "the proper" method, but you can try to check
the value of System.Web.HttpContext.Current and if it is null, you can
conclude that it is not a Web application.

Thanks Alek; System.Web.HttpContext is undefined for a windows app so
that didn't quite work. "AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName" seems
to work for me.

Well, then use System.Web.HttpContext for your check <g>...
