Getting assembly name

by

C#’s exception class has a source property which is set to the name of the assembly by default.
Is there another way to get this exact string (without parsing a different string)?

I have tried the following:

catch(Exception e)
{
    string str = e.Source;         
    //"EPA" - what I want               
    str = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName;
    //"EPA, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
    str = typeof(Program).FullName;
    //"EPA.Program"
    str = typeof(Program).Assembly.FullName;
    //"EPA, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
    str = typeof(Program).Assembly.ToString();
    //"EPA, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
    str = typeof(Program).AssemblyQualifiedName;
    //"EPA.Program, EPA, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
}
