这段代码应该转到main方法。关于WPF中main方法的更多信息，请参阅这里。

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern Boolean ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 nCmdShow);

private const int SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3;

static void Main() 
{
    Process currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
    var runningProcess = (from process in Process.GetProcesses()
                          where
                            process.Id != currentProcess.Id &&
                            process.ProcessName.Equals(
                              currentProcess.ProcessName,
                              StringComparison.Ordinal)
                          select process).FirstOrDefault();
    if (runningProcess != null)
    {
        ShowWindow(runningProcess.MainWindowHandle, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
       return; 
    }
}

方法2

static void Main()
{
    string procName = Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName;
    // get the list of all processes by that name

    Process[] processes=Process.GetProcessesByName(procName);

    if (processes.Length > 1)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(procName + " already running");  
        return;
    } 
    else
    {
        // Application.Run(...);
    }
}

注意:上述方法假设您的进程/应用程序有唯一的名称。因为它使用进程名来查找是否有现有的处理器。所以，如果你的应用程序有一个非常普通的名字(如:记事本)，上述方法是行不通的。

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。

使用互斥量解决方案:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;

namespace OneAndOnlyOne
{
static class Program
{
    static String _mutexID = " // generate guid"
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [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;
            }
        }
    }
}
}

我最喜欢的解决方案来自MVP丹尼尔·沃恩: 强制执行单实例Wpf应用程序

请检查这里提出的解决方案，它使用信号量来确定现有实例是否已经在运行，适用于WPF应用程序，并且可以通过使用TcpListener和TcpClient将参数从第二个实例传递给第一个已经运行的实例:

它不仅适用于。net Framework，也适用于。net Core。

更新2017-01-25。在尝试了一些东西之后，我决定使用VisualBasic.dll，它更容易，工作效果更好(至少对我来说)。我让我之前的答案只是作为参考…

只是作为参考，这是我如何不传递参数(我找不到任何理由这样做…我指的是带有参数的单个应用程序，这些参数可以从一个实例传递到另一个实例)。 如果需要文件关联，那么应用程序应该(根据用户的标准期望)为每个文档实例化。如果你必须传递args到现有的应用程序，我想我会使用vb dll。

不传递参数(只是单实例应用程序)，我更喜欢不注册一个新的窗口消息，不覆盖Matt Davis解决方案中定义的消息循环。虽然添加一个VisualBasic dll不是一个大问题，但我不喜欢添加一个新的引用只是做单个实例应用程序。此外，我更喜欢用Main实例化一个新类，而不是调用Shutdown from app. startup重写以确保尽快退出。

希望大家都喜欢……或者会启发一点:-)

项目启动类应该设置为“SingleInstanceApp”。

public class SingleInstanceApp
{
    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Mutex _mutexSingleInstance = new Mutex(true, "MonitorMeSingleInstance");

        if (_mutexSingleInstance.WaitOne(TimeSpan.Zero, true))
        {
            try
            {
                var app = new App();
                app.InitializeComponent();
                app.Run();

            }
            finally
            {
                _mutexSingleInstance.ReleaseMutex();
                _mutexSingleInstance.Close();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("One instance is already running.");

            var processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name);
            {
                if (processes.Length > 1)
                {
                    foreach (var process in processes)
                    {
                        if (process.Id != Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id)
                        {
                            WindowHelper.SetForegroundWindow(process.MainWindowHandle);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
