How to get details of ASP.NET host environment from code

What details can I get of the process hosting my ASP.NET code (i.e. Cassini, IIS etc)?

I know of System.Environment but its not overly informative for web apps.

Is there anything else available?

Thanks

If you only are interested in what kind of environment that you are running in, you can check

AppDomain.Current.FriendlyName

or 

System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.ModuleName

We have a test like this in a project:

AppDomain appDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
if (appDomain.FriendlyName.ToUpper().StartsWith("/LM/W3SVC/") || // IIS
  appDomain.FriendlyName.ToLower().EndsWith(".test.dll") ||       // Support for unit test as long as it ends with .test.dll.
 (System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule != null) && System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.ModuleName.Equals("WebDev.WebServer.EXE", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))     // Support for Cassini.
{
    ...
}

It is not pretty, but it works.

You can get some more info from HttpRuntime, but not everything.
