这么简单的问题有这么多答案。稍微改变一下这里是我对这个问题的解决方案。

Creating a Mutex can be troublesome because the JIT-er only sees you using it for a small portion of your code and wants to mark it as ready for garbage collection. It pretty much wants to out-smart you thinking you are not going to be using that Mutex for that long. In reality you want to hang onto this Mutex for as long as your application is running. The best way to tell the garbage collector to leave you Mutex alone is to tell it to keep it alive though out the different generations of garage collection. Example:

var m = new Mutex(...);
...
GC.KeepAlive(m);

我从这个网页上获得了灵感:http://www.ai.uga.edu/~mc/SingleInstance.html

这是我用的。它结合了进程枚举来执行切换和互斥，以防止“活动点击器”:

public partial class App
{
    [DllImport("user32")]
    private static extern int OpenIcon(IntPtr hWnd);

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

    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnStartup(e);
        var p = Process
           .GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName);
            foreach (var t in p.Where(t => t.MainWindowHandle != IntPtr.Zero))
            {
                OpenIcon(t.MainWindowHandle);
                SetForegroundWindow(t.MainWindowHandle);
                Current.Shutdown();
                return;
            }

            // there is a chance the user tries to click on the icon repeatedly
            // and the process cannot be discovered yet
            bool createdNew;
            var mutex = new Mutex(true, "MyAwesomeApp", 
               out createdNew);  // must be a variable, though it is unused - 
            // we just need a bit of time until the process shows up
            if (!createdNew)
            {
                Current.Shutdown();
                return;
            }

            new Bootstrapper().Run();
        }
    }

代码c# . net单实例应用程序作为标记答案的参考是一个很好的开始。

然而，我发现它不能很好地处理已经存在的实例打开了一个模态对话框的情况，无论该对话框是托管的(像另一个表单，如about框)，还是非托管的(像OpenFileDialog，甚至在使用标准的. net类时)。使用原始代码，主表单被激活，但模态表单保持不激活状态，这看起来很奇怪，而且用户必须点击它才能继续使用应用程序。

因此，我已经创建了一个SingleInstance实用程序类来为Winforms和WPF应用程序自动处理所有这些。

Winforms:

1)像这样修改Program类:

static class Program
{
    public static readonly SingleInstance Singleton = new SingleInstance(typeof(Program).FullName);

    [STAThread]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // NOTE: if this always return false, close & restart Visual Studio
        // this is probably due to the vshost.exe thing
        Singleton.RunFirstInstance(() =>
        {
            SingleInstanceMain(args);
        });
    }

    public static void SingleInstanceMain(string[] args)
    {
        // standard code that was in Main now goes here
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

2)像这样修改主窗口类:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
    {
        // if needed, the singleton will restore this window
        Program.Singleton.OnWndProc(this, m, true);

        // TODO: handle specific messages here if needed
        base.WndProc(ref m);
    }
}

WPF:

1)像这样修改App页面(并确保你将其构建动作设置为page，以便能够重新定义Main方法):

public partial class App : Application
{
    public static readonly SingleInstance Singleton = new SingleInstance(typeof(App).FullName);

    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // NOTE: if this always return false, close & restart Visual Studio
        // this is probably due to the vshost.exe thing
        Singleton.RunFirstInstance(() =>
        {
            SingleInstanceMain(args);
        });
    }

    public static void SingleInstanceMain(string[] args)
    {
        // standard code that was in Main now goes here
        App app = new App();
        app.InitializeComponent();
        app.Run();
    }
}

2)像这样修改主窗口类:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    private HwndSource _source;

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    protected override void OnSourceInitialized(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnSourceInitialized(e);
        _source = (HwndSource)PresentationSource.FromVisual(this);
        _source.AddHook(HwndSourceHook);
    }

    protected virtual IntPtr HwndSourceHook(IntPtr hwnd, int msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, ref bool handled)
    {
        // if needed, the singleton will restore this window
        App.Singleton.OnWndProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam, true, true);

        // TODO: handle other specific message
        return IntPtr.Zero;
    }

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:
