Where is Application info in VB.NET Windows Service?

Hi,
I wrote a Windows Service in VB.NET and I would like to access the
application properties like name, version.

Found information regarding System.Windows.Forms.Application but this
is not available to a service. Is there another way to get this
simple/basic information?

Thanks
