这就是我最终处理这个问题的方式。注意，调试代码仍然在那里进行测试。这段代码在App.xaml.cs文件的OnStartup中。(WPF)

        // Process already running ? 
        if (Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName).Length > 1)
        {

            // Show your error message
            MessageBox.Show("xxx is already running.  \r\n\r\nIf the original process is hung up you may need to restart your computer, or kill the current xxx process using the task manager.", "xxx is already running!", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Exclamation);

            // This process 
            Process currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();

            // Get all processes running on the local computer.
            Process[] localAll = Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName);

            // ID of this process... 
            int temp = currentProcess.Id;
            MessageBox.Show("This Process ID:  " + temp.ToString());

            for (int i = 0; i < localAll.Length; i++)
            {
                // Find the other process 
                if (localAll[i].Id != currentProcess.Id)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("Original Process ID (Switching to):  " + localAll[i].Id.ToString());

                    // Switch to it... 
                    SetForegroundWindow(localAll[i].MainWindowHandle);

                }
            }

            Application.Current.Shutdown();

        }

这可能有我还没有发现的问题。如果我遇到了，我会更新我的答案。

看起来有一个很好的方法来处理这个问题:

WPF单实例应用程序

这提供了一个类，您可以添加它来管理所有互斥量和消息传递的cruff，从而将实现简化到非常简单的程度。

通常，这是我用于单实例Windows窗体应用程序的代码:

[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
    String assemblyName = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name;

    using (Mutex mutex = new Mutex(false, assemblyName))
    {
        if (!mutex.WaitOne(0, false))
        {
            Boolean shownProcess = false;
            Process currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();

            foreach (Process process in Process.GetProcessesByName(currentProcess.ProcessName))
            {
                if (!process.Id.Equals(currentProcess.Id) && process.MainModule.FileName.Equals(currentProcess.MainModule.FileName) && !process.MainWindowHandle.Equals(IntPtr.Zero))
                {
                    IntPtr windowHandle = process.MainWindowHandle;

                    if (NativeMethods.IsIconic(windowHandle))
                        NativeMethods.ShowWindow(windowHandle, ShowWindowCommand.Restore);

                    NativeMethods.SetForegroundWindow(windowHandle);

                    shownProcess = true;
                }
            }

            if (!shownProcess)
                MessageBox.Show(String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "An instance of {0} is already running!", assemblyName), assemblyName, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1, (MessageBoxOptions)0);
        }
        else
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new Form());
        }
    }
}

本地组件的位置:

[DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
internal static extern Boolean IsIconic([In] IntPtr windowHandle);

[DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
internal static extern Boolean SetForegroundWindow([In] IntPtr windowHandle);

[DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
internal static extern Boolean ShowWindow([In] IntPtr windowHandle, [In] ShowWindowCommand command);

public enum ShowWindowCommand : int
{
    Hide                   = 0x0,
    ShowNormal             = 0x1,
    ShowMinimized          = 0x2,
    ShowMaximized          = 0x3,
    ShowNormalNotActive    = 0x4,
    Minimize               = 0x6,
    ShowMinimizedNotActive = 0x7,
    ShowCurrentNotActive   = 0x8,
    Restore                = 0x9,
    ShowDefault            = 0xA,
    ForceMinimize          = 0xB
}

基于Matt Davis的答案，为方便起见包装成一个类。

public static class SingleAppInstanceChecker
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Arbitrary unique string
    /// </summary>
    private static Mutex _mutex = new Mutex(true, "0d12ad74-026f-40c3-bdae-e178ddee8602");

    public static bool IsNotRunning()
    {
        return _mutex.WaitOne(TimeSpan.Zero, true);
    }
}

使用示例:

private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
    if (!SingleAppInstanceChecker.IsNotRunning())
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Application is already running.");

        // Exit application using:
        // Environment.Exit(1);
        // Application.Current.Shutdown();
        // Etc...

        return;
    }
    
    // Allow startup and continue with normal processing
    // ...
}

从这里。

跨进程互斥锁的一个常见用途是确保一个程序一次只能运行一个实例。以下是如何做到的:

class OneAtATimePlease {

  // Use a name unique to the application (eg include your company URL)
  static Mutex mutex = new Mutex (false, "oreilly.com OneAtATimeDemo");

  static void Main()
  {
    // Wait 5 seconds if contended – in case another instance
    // of the program is in the process of shutting down.
    if (!mutex.WaitOne(TimeSpan.FromSeconds (5), false))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Another instance of the app is running. Bye!");
        return;
    }

    try
    {    
        Console.WriteLine("Running - press Enter to exit");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
    finally
    {
        mutex.ReleaseMutex();
    }    
  }    
}

互斥锁的一个很好的特性是，如果应用程序在没有首先调用ReleaseMutex的情况下终止，CLR将自动释放互斥锁。

你可以使用Mutex类，但是你很快就会发现你需要自己实现传递参数的代码。当我读Chris Sell的书时，我学到了一个用WinForms编程的技巧。这个技巧使用了框架中已经可用的逻辑。我不知道你怎么想，但当我了解到可以在框架中重用的东西时，这通常是我采取的路线，而不是重新发明轮子。当然，除非它不能做到我想要的一切。

当我进入WPF时，我想到了一种使用相同代码的方法，但在WPF应用程序中。基于您的问题，这个解决方案应该能够满足您的需求。

首先，我们需要创建应用程序类。在这个类中，我们将重写OnStartup事件并创建一个名为Activate的方法，该方法将在稍后使用。

public class SingleInstanceApplication : System.Windows.Application
{
    protected override void OnStartup(System.Windows.StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        // Call the OnStartup event on our base class
        base.OnStartup(e);

        // Create our MainWindow and show it
        MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
        window.Show();
    }

    public void Activate()
    {
        // Reactivate the main window
        MainWindow.Activate();
    }
}

Second, we will need to create a class that can manage our instances. Before we go through that, we are actually going to reuse some code that is in the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly. Since, I am using C# in this example, I had to make a reference to the assembly. If you are using VB.NET, you don't have to do anything. The class we are going to use is WindowsFormsApplicationBase and inherit our instance manager off of it and then leverage properties and events to handle the single instancing.

public class SingleInstanceManager : Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase
{
    private SingleInstanceApplication _application;
    private System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<string> _commandLine;

    public SingleInstanceManager()
    {
        IsSingleInstance = true;
    }

    protected override bool OnStartup(Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        // First time _application is launched
        _commandLine = eventArgs.CommandLine;
        _application = new SingleInstanceApplication();
        _application.Run();
        return false;
    }

    protected override void OnStartupNextInstance(StartupNextInstanceEventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        // Subsequent launches
        base.OnStartupNextInstance(eventArgs);
        _commandLine = eventArgs.CommandLine;
        _application.Activate();
    }
}

基本上，我们使用VB位来检测单个实例并进行相应的处理。OnStartup将在第一个实例加载时被触发。当应用程序再次运行时，OnStartupNextInstance被触发。如您所见，我可以通过事件参数获得在命令行上传递的内容。我将值设置为一个实例字段。您可以在这里解析命令行，也可以通过构造函数和对Activate方法的调用将它传递给应用程序。

第三，是时候创建我们的入口点了。我们将利用SingleInstanceManager，而不是像通常那样更新应用程序。

public class EntryPoint
{
    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        SingleInstanceManager manager = new SingleInstanceManager();
        manager.Run(args);
    }
}

好吧，我希望您能够理解所有内容，能够使用这个实现并使其成为您自己的实现。
