请看下面的代码。它是防止一个WPF应用程序有多个实例的一个很好的简单解决方案。

private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
    Process thisProc = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
    if (Process.GetProcessesByName(thisProc.ProcessName).Length > 1)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Application running");
        Application.Current.Shutdown();
        return;
    }

    var wLogin = new LoginWindow();

    if (wLogin.ShowDialog() == true)
    {
        var wMain = new Main();
        wMain.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
        wMain.Show();
    }
    else
    {
        Application.Current.Shutdown();
    }
}

这是我的整个App.xaml.cs，这段代码也将启动的程序实例带到前台:

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

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);

    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        _mutex = new Mutex(true, "YourMutexName", out var createdNew);

        if (!createdNew)
        {
            using (var currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess())
            {
                foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName(currentProcess.ProcessName))
                {
                    if (process.Id != currentProcess.Id)
                    {
                        ShowWindow(process.MainWindowHandle, 9);
                        SetForegroundWindow(process.MainWindowHandle);
                    }
                    process.Dispose();
                }
            }
            // app is already running! Exiting the application  
            Shutdown();
        }

        base.OnStartup(e);
    }

    protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e)
    {
        _mutex.Dispose();
        base.OnExit(e);
    }
}

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。

永远不要使用命名互斥来实现单实例应用程序(至少在生产代码中不要这样做)。恶意代码可以很容易地DoS(拒绝服务)你的屁股…

但是不使用互斥，简单的回答:

System.Diagnostics;    
...
string thisprocessname = Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName;

if (Process.GetProcesses().Count(p => p.ProcessName == thisprocessname) > 1)
                return;

把它放在Program.Main()中。 例子:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace Sample
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            //simple add Diagnostics namespace, and these 3 lines below 
            string thisprocessname = Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName;
            if (Process.GetProcesses().Count(p => p.ProcessName == thisprocessname) > 1)
                return;

            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new Sample());
        }
    }
}

您可以添加MessageBox。在if语句中显示并输入“应用程序已运行”。 这可能对某些人有帮助。

MSDN实际上有一个c#和VB的示例应用程序可以做到这一点:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms771662(v=VS.90).aspx

The most common and reliable technique for developing single-instance detection is to use the Microsoft .NET Framework remoting infrastructure (System.Remoting). The Microsoft .NET Framework (version 2.0) includes a type, WindowsFormsApplicationBase, which encapsulates the required remoting functionality. To incorporate this type into a WPF application, a type needs to derive from it, and be used as a shim between the application static entry point method, Main, and the WPF application's Application type. The shim detects when an application is first launched, and when subsequent launches are attempted, and yields control the WPF Application type to determine how to process the launches.

For C# people just take a deep breath and forget about the whole 'I don't wanna include VisualBasic DLL'. Because of this and what Scott Hanselman says and the fact that this pretty much is the cleanest solution to the problem and is designed by people who know a lot more about the framework than you do. From a usability standpoint the fact is if your user is loading an application and it is already open and you're giving them an error message like 'Another instance of the app is running. Bye' then they're not gonna be a very happy user. You simply MUST (in a GUI application) switch to that application and pass in the arguments provided - or if command line parameters have no meaning then you must pop up the application which may have been minimized.

这个框架已经支持这个功能了——只是有些白痴把DLL命名为Microsoft罢了。VisualBasic，它没有被放到微软。ApplicationUtils之类的。克服它——或者打开Reflector。

提示:如果你完全按原样使用这种方法，并且你已经有了一个带有资源等的App.xaml，你也会想要看看这个。
