An assembly has no way of finding the assemblies that reference it.
But from an assembly, you can find out what assembly is calling into it at a
particular point in time.
To be a bit clearer, you can define a method in your assembly B that will
(using the Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()) find out what assembly has called
it.
