Hi Jam,

// get the name of our process

string proc=Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName;

// get the list of all processes by that name

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

// if there is more than one process...

if (processes.Length > 1)

{

MessageBox.Show("Application is already running");

return;

} else

Application.Run(new Form1());

I think that using Mutex will be much more appropriate here (at least in
order to prevent your application being started twice).
