How to determine if an assembly is running as a Console app or a Windows app?

How can I tell, programmatically of course, whether an assembly is running as a Console app or a Windows app?

I have an assembly that is shared among both types of applications. When it needs to output a message to the user I would like to know whether to call MessageBox.Show() or Console.WriteLine().

I want this to be handled within the assembly itself. I don't want to use Events or Delegates for reasons that I am too lazy to explain. :)
