最近看了一个老外的写的方法,通过进程间通信保证只启动一个程序:
客户端主窗体继承该接口,

SingleInstancing
using System;

namespace SingleInstancing


{

/**//// <summary>
/// Provides methods which a single instance application can use to in order to be respond to any new instance of it.
/// </summary>
public interface ISingleInstanceEnforcer

{

/**//// <summary>
/// Handles messages received from a new instance of the application.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="e">The EventArgs object holding information about the event.</param>
void OnMessageReceived(MessageEventArgs e);

/**//// <summary>
/// Handles a creation of a new instance of the application.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="e">The EventArgs object holding information about the event.</param>
void OnNewInstanceCreated(EventArgs e);
}
}
注意,由于该方法可能是在另一个进程中调用所以在其中调用主窗体时需要回到主窗体

catch (SingleInstancingException ex)
