I have found the solution. If i look at HttpContext.Current, it returns null if it's called form desktop or console application and not null if it is called from web application

this is my scenerio.  Let's say i have i function named
knowTypeOfProject() in determineTheTypeOfProject.dll. Then firstly i
create web application, later on i add determineTheTypeOfProject.dll to
my web project. In knowTypeOfProject() function can i know that am i in
web project. In my scenerio my application might be console, or gui
application. Can i know the type of application that i am referenced, in
knowTypeOfProject() function. 

the reason why i need such a thing is, in
function knowTypeOfProject(), i want to behave different if i am in web
application and behave different if i am in console or gui application.

The term "win32" usually refers to unmanaged code; is that what you mean, or do you mean 32-bit or 64-bit?

Do you need to determine whether the application is console or GUI?

I think there are more than one ways to get the information, depending on what you need.
