The entry assembly for the running application. Can return null when called from unmanaged code.
Remarks
.NET Framework only: In the default application ___domain, this method returns the process executable. In other application domains, this method returns the first executable that was executed by ExecuteAssembly.
The GetEntryAssembly method can return null when a managed assembly has been loaded from an unmanaged application. For example, if an unmanaged application creates an instance of a COM component written in C#, a call to the GetEntryAssembly method from the C# component returns null, because the entry point for the process was unmanaged code rather than a managed assembly.
