Using C# and WPF under .NET (rather than Windows Forms or console), what is the correct way to create an application that can only be run as a single instance?
I kno
Use mutex solution:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;
namespace OneAndOnlyOne
{
static class Program
{
static String _mutexID = " // generate guid"
///
/// The main entry point for the application.
///
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Boolean _isNotRunning;
using (Mutex _mutex = new Mutex(true, _mutexID, out _isNotRunning))
{
if (_isNotRunning)
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("An instance is already running.");
return;
}
}
}
}
}
