Validate Strong Name of Running Assembly

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?

Solution

        Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcesses();

    foreach(Process theprocess in processlist)
    {
        string strongName = "N/A";
        try
        {
            strongName = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(theprocess.MainModule.FileName).FullName;
        }
        catch
        {
            // System process?
        }
        Console.WriteLine("Process: {0} ID: {1} Strong Name: {2}", theprocess.ProcessName, theprocess.Id, strongName);
    }
