Application Name

you have to use getcallingassembly method from reflection
try, example from MSDN
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assembly.getcallingassembly.aspx

Dim SampleAssembly As [Assembly]
    ' Instantiate a target object.
    Dim Integer1 As New Int32()
    Dim Type1 As Type
    ' Set the Type instance to the target class type.
    Type1 = Integer1.GetType()
    ' Instantiate an Assembly class to the assembly housing the Integer type.  
    SampleAssembly = [Assembly].GetAssembly(Integer1.GetType())
    ' Display the name of the assembly that is calling the method.
    Console.WriteLine(("GetCallingAssembly=" + [Assembly].GetCallingAssembly().FullName))

I am sorry ignore my comment, that is for VB.Net

Epaclm,
This code appears to return the language identifier  and not the EXE parent name.

Sorry, the best I could find. Maybe it can be updated to find more info. Try and see what you get with this file.

' Here is the so called correct way to do this thanks for the points.

    dwLength = GetModuleFileNameExW(hProcess, 0, VarPtr(Buffer(0)), UBound(Buffer))
    ' * ToString
    ModuleFilename = Left$(Buffer, dwLength)
    ' * cleanup the process handle
