How to get upstream assembly name(?)

I am trying to figure out how to get the name of upstream assemblies
(assembly which called the current assembly) in an asp.net app.

UI Layer (asp.nex code behind)
   Bus Logic Layer  (seperate assembly called by UI)
       Data Layer  (called by Bus Logic)

In the Data Layer:
   [Assembly].GetCallingAssembly.GetName  -- returns data layer's assembly
name (I would have expected the Bus Logic assembly name)
   [Assembly].GetEntryAssembly.GetName -- returns w3wp  (I would have
expected the UI Layer assembly...but I guess this makes sense since it's
ultimately IIS that is calling everthing.

Thanks

Hi

The method is based on Method.
From MSDN
Returns the Assembly of the method that invoked the currently executing
method.

e.g.
Assembly StrongNameAssembly has a method GetString1,
        public string GetString1()
        {
            return Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().FullName;
        }
Assembly CommonClassLib has a method GetString1.
        public string GetString1()
        {
            return new StrongNameAssembly.TestClass().GetString1();
        }

When our App call
        private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            CommonClassLib.TestClass o = new CommonClassLib.TestClass();
            MessageBox.Show(o.GetString1());
        }

Now I will get CommonClassLib, which follows the document.
You may have a try.
