C#, Compact Framework 2.0

[Guest]

I wrote a C# Application for Microsoft .NET CF 2.0. It is used on Microsoft
Pocket PC, Version 4.20.0 (Build 14053).
Is there a way to prevent my Application to be startet twice?

Best Regards

Yes. You can used named Mutex object to detect if another instance of application is running.

Indeed, named Mutexes aren't supported in CF 2.0.
As a workaround for this limitationsolution you can P/Invoke
on coredll.dll and create unmanaged named mutex object.

Then Mutex.Handle Property can be used to attach managed Mutex
object and manipulate that unmanaged one.

I know this is an old topic, but my unerstanding is the CF automatically
blocks the same applicayion from loading twice. Do I have this right?
