Try

string name = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().FullName;

What kind of application is it?

Have you defined the various parameters in the AssemblyInfo.cs file? If yes you could use this method as stated by Darwen.

If its a console application use:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
     //Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() requires EnvironmentPermissionAccess.Read
     Console.WriteLine (Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0]);
}

There are other ways of doing this. See if the following work: (I found it on the google search, haven't tested)
1. In WinForms - Application.ExecutablePath - requires FileIOPermissionAccess.PathDiscovery
2. System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName - SecurityPermission for calling any members of System.Diagnostic.Process with full trust (which you might have problems with) . Associated enumeration: PermissionState.Unrestricted
3. Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()[0].FullyQualifiedName

By the way, I dont get what you want out of this. Its going to be your application. You would always be knowing the name. You could simply hardcode it somewhere or make a constant somewhere. Could even store the name in your web.config (if its a APS.Net project) under appSetting and get the key value from there. I didnt quite get what you are trying to achieve here.
