+2  Q: 

Get the requesting app name in WCF data service

Is there any reliable way to find from which Application the Request to a WCF Service originates? I know I can find the user name, domain, IP, etc. from the HTTP context, but what about the App name? Many thanks in advance.

+4  A: 

Applications don't have names, in general, so no.

If you mean the name of the executable, then, no, it's none of the server's business, really.

Thanks, John, this is what I was leaning towards, but had to ask...
