Making sure only one instance runs at any time

[Daniel]

Hey guys

What is the best way in c# to ensure that once your app is running, if the
user then clicks to run it again it notifies them it is already running, or
alternatively, brings the running version to focus and does not load a new
instance?

Thanks

Is that complete code in the guys question? Hard to understand how to do
something for the first person by looking at someone elses attempt that
doesnt work with some explaining why it doesnt work.....can anyone else
help?

This has been asked a lot. Google for "single instance application c#". That
should turn up a few solutions in Groups
