这是我的两分钱

 static class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            bool createdNew;
            using (new Mutex(true, "MyApp", out createdNew))
            {
                if (createdNew) {
                    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
                    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
                    var mainClass = new SynGesturesLogic();
                    Application.ApplicationExit += mainClass.tray_exit;
                    Application.Run();
                }
                else
                {
                    var current = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
                    foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName(current.ProcessName).Where(process => process.Id != current.Id))
                    {
                        NativeMethods.SetForegroundWindow(process.MainWindowHandle);
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

好吧，我有一个一次性的类，对于大多数用例来说很容易:

像这样使用它:

static void Main()
{
    using (SingleInstanceMutex sim = new SingleInstanceMutex())
    {
        if (sim.IsOtherInstanceRunning)
        {
            Application.Exit();
        }

        // Initialize program here.
    }
}

下面就是:

/// <summary>
/// Represents a <see cref="SingleInstanceMutex"/> class.
/// </summary>
public partial class SingleInstanceMutex : IDisposable
{
    #region Fields

    /// <summary>
    /// Indicator whether another instance of this application is running or not.
    /// </summary>
    private bool isNoOtherInstanceRunning;

    /// <summary>
    /// The <see cref="Mutex"/> used to ask for other instances of this application.
    /// </summary>
    private Mutex singleInstanceMutex = null;

    /// <summary>
    /// An indicator whether this object is beeing actively disposed or not.
    /// </summary>
    private bool disposed;

    #endregion

    #region Constructor

    /// <summary>
    /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="SingleInstanceMutex"/> class.
    /// </summary>
    public SingleInstanceMutex()
    {
        this.singleInstanceMutex = new Mutex(true, Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().FullName, out this.isNoOtherInstanceRunning);
    }

    #endregion

    #region Properties

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets an indicator whether another instance of the application is running or not.
    /// </summary>
    public bool IsOtherInstanceRunning
    {
        get
        {
            return !this.isNoOtherInstanceRunning;
        }
    }

    #endregion

    #region Methods

    /// <summary>
    /// Closes the <see cref="SingleInstanceMutex"/>.
    /// </summary>
    public void Close()
    {
        this.ThrowIfDisposed();
        this.singleInstanceMutex.Close();
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        this.Dispose(true);
        GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
    }

    private void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (!this.disposed)
        {
            /* Release unmanaged ressources */

            if (disposing)
            {
                /* Release managed ressources */
                this.Close();
            }

            this.disposed = true;
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Throws an exception if something is tried to be done with an already disposed object.
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// All public methods of the class must first call this.
    /// </remarks>
    public void ThrowIfDisposed()
    {
        if (this.disposed)
        {
            throw new ObjectDisposedException(this.GetType().Name);
        }
    }

    #endregion
}

简单地使用一个StreamWriter，怎么样?

System.IO.File.StreamWriter OpenFlag = null;   //globally

and

try
{
    OpenFlag = new StreamWriter(Path.GetTempPath() + "OpenedIfRunning");
}
catch (System.IO.IOException) //file in use
{
    Environment.Exit(0);
}

我在解决方案中使用互斥来防止多个实例。

static Mutex mutex = null;
//A string that is the name of the mutex
string mutexName = @"Global\test";
//Prevent Multiple Instances of Application
bool onlyInstance = false;
mutex = new Mutex(true, mutexName, out onlyInstance);

if (!onlyInstance)
{
  MessageBox.Show("You are already running this application in your system.", "Already Running..", MessageBoxButton.OK);
  Application.Current.Shutdown();
}

我在这里找不到一个简单的解决方案，所以我希望有人会喜欢这个:

把这段代码放在Program.cs中:

using System.Diagnostics;

static void Main()
{
    Process thisProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
    Process[] allProcesses = Process.GetProcessesByName(thisProcess.ProcessName);
    if (allProcesses.Length > 1)
    {
        // Don't put a MessageBox in here because the user could spam this MessageBox.
        return;
    }

    // Optional code. If you don't want that someone runs your ".exe" with a different name:

    string exeName = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName;
    // in debug mode, don't forget that you don't use your normal .exe name.
    // Debug uses the .vshost.exe.
    if (exeName != "the name of your executable.exe") 
    {
        // You can add a MessageBox here if you want.
        // To point out to users that the name got changed and maybe what the name should be or something like that^^ 
        MessageBox.Show("The executable name should be \"the name of your executable.exe\"", 
            "Wrong executable name", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
        return;
    }

    // Following code is default code:
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Application.Run(new MainForm());
}

[我在下面提供了控制台和wpf应用程序的示例代码。]

在创建命名的Mutex实例后，只需检查createdNew变量的值(示例如下!)。

布尔值createdNew将返回false:

如果命名为“YourApplicationNameHere”的互斥锁实例已经存在 在系统某处创建

布尔值createdNew将返回true:

如果这是第一个名为“YourApplicationNameHere”的互斥锁 系统。

控制台应用程序-示例:

static Mutex m = null;

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    const string mutexName = "YourApplicationNameHere";
    bool createdNew = false;

    try
    {
        // Initializes a new instance of the Mutex class with a Boolean value that indicates 
        // whether the calling thread should have initial ownership of the mutex, a string that is the name of the mutex, 
        // and a Boolean value that, when the method returns, indicates whether the calling thread was granted initial ownership of the mutex.

        using (m = new Mutex(true, mutexName, out createdNew))
        {
            if (!createdNew)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("instance is alreday running... shutting down !!!");
                Console.Read();
                return; // Exit the application
            }

            // Run your windows forms app here
            Console.WriteLine("Single instance app is running!");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }


    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {

        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

WPF-Example:

public partial class App : Application
{
static Mutex m = null;

protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{

    const string mutexName = "YourApplicationNameHere";
    bool createdNew = false;

    try
    {
        // Initializes a new instance of the Mutex class with a Boolean value that indicates 
        // whether the calling thread should have initial ownership of the mutex, a string that is the name of the mutex, 
        // and a Boolean value that, when the method returns, indicates whether the calling thread was granted initial ownership of the mutex.

        m = new Mutex(true, mutexName, out createdNew);

        if (!createdNew)
        {
            Current.Shutdown(); // Exit the application
        }

    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        throw;
    }

    base.OnStartup(e);
}


protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e)
{
    if (m != null)
    {
        m.Dispose();
    }
    base.OnExit(e);
}
}
