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;
            }
        }
    }
}
}

我喜欢一个解决方案，以允许多个实例，如果exe是从其他路径调用。我修改了CharithJ溶液方法一:

   static class Program {
    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    private static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 nCmdShow);
    [DllImport("User32.dll")]
    public static extern Int32 SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);
    [STAThread]
    static void Main() {
        Process currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
        foreach (var process in Process.GetProcesses()) {
            try {
                if ((process.Id != currentProcess.Id) && 
                    (process.ProcessName == currentProcess.ProcessName) &&
                    (process.MainModule.FileName == currentProcess.MainModule.FileName)) {
                    ShowWindow(process.MainWindowHandle, 5); // const int SW_SHOW = 5; //Activates the window and displays it in its current size and position. 
                    SetForegroundWindow(process.MainWindowHandle);
                    return;
                }
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                //ignore Exception "Access denied "
            }
        }

        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

一个新的使用互斥和IPC的东西，也传递任何命令行参数到运行的实例，是WPF单实例应用程序。

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:

public partial class App : Application
{
    private static Mutex _mutex = null;

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

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);

    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        _mutex = new Mutex(true, "YourMutexName", out var createdNew);

        if (!createdNew)
        {
            using (var currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess())
            {
                foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName(currentProcess.ProcessName))
                {
                    if (process.Id != currentProcess.Id)
                    {
                        ShowWindow(process.MainWindowHandle, 9);
                        SetForegroundWindow(process.MainWindowHandle);
                    }
                    process.Dispose();
                }
            }
            // app is already running! Exiting the application  
            Shutdown();
        }

        base.OnStartup(e);
    }

    protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e)
    {
        _mutex.Dispose();
        base.OnExit(e);
    }
}

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

它使用MemoryMappedFile将命令行参数发送给第一个实例:

这是通过事件实现的相同的事情。

public enum ApplicationSingleInstanceMode

    {
        string name;
        if (mode == ApplicationSingleInstanceMode.CurrentUserSession)
            name = $"Local\\{applicationName}";
        else if (mode == ApplicationSingleInstanceMode.AllSessionsOfCurrentUser)
            name = $"Global\\{applicationName}{Environment.UserDomainName}";
        else
            name = $"Global\\{applicationName}";

        try
        {
            bool created;
            _event = new EventWaitHandle(false, EventResetMode.ManualReset, name, out created);
            FirstInstance = created;
        }
        catch
        {
        }
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        _event.Dispose();
    }
}
