BUG???- Reflection.asse mbly.GetCalling Assembly returns different values when compiled for Debug or Release

[Shawn Hogan]

I'm getting two different results when I call
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get CallingAssembly when compiling in Release and
debug modes. When i compile my application using the "Debug" configuration
my call to GetCallingAssem bly returns the assembly name of the project that
contains my form and class(as expected). When i compile using the "Release"
configuration GetCallingAssem bly unexpectedly returns System.Windows. Forms.

Below is some sample code that illustrates what i'm trying to do. DO NOT
test this code from the VS IDE. You must compile it and execute it from
explorer. When you run the code in the IDE you will get your application
assembly name as expected.

Create a new windows application and add the following class. Notice that
the function is a shared member:
Public Class Class1

Public Shared Function getCallingAssem blyName() As String

Return
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get CallingAssembly .GetCallingAsse mbly.FullName

End Function

End Class
Take form1 and place a button on the form with the following code in the
button click.
Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click

MsgBox(Class1.g etCallingAssemb lyName)

End Sub

Any Ideas????

Thanks,

Shawn
