    The Application class just needs a reference to System.Window.Forms. So the simpler way is to add that reference in your *.dll and use the property.

    However if you are not allowed to reference the Windows Forms library you can somewhat replicate the functionality in a custom class of yours and read the AssemblyProductAttribute from the assembly you consider to be your application. For a console application you would consider the assembly returned from Assembly.GetEntryAssembly to be your application.
