validation

Is it possible for one to check the strong name of a .NET application that is already currently running separately from your own running applications process?

EDIT: For clarification, a solution that does not require a hard coded path to the executing assembly would be the most ideal solution.

EDIT #2: Is there any way to do this without using reflection?
