Well, you could create your own class inherited from the Console class and
add a static field that would keep track of how many instances of your class
there are. You can then check this field in your code to only open a new
console session if there are no other sessions open. This is just a thought
and there might be another more efficient way to do it...anyone?!

How to allow instanciation of a class from another class method inside the same assembly???

by: Bob Rock | last post by:

Hello, I'd like to be able to allow instanciation of a class (class Class_A) only from another class method (class Class_B). And I'd like to write the necessary code to enforce this behavior even inside the same assembly where class Class_A and Class_B are defined. I've written the code that does this BUT I'd like to understand if this is the most correct way to obtain such a result. This is my simplified code:

Capturing stdout from a console app -- not working

by: Oz | last post by:

This is long. Bear with me, as I will really go through all the convoluted stuff that shows there is a problem with streams (at least when used to redirect stdout). The basic idea is that my application (VB.NET) will start a process, redirect its stdout and capture that process' output, displaying it in a window. I've written a component for this, and a test application for the component. It allows me to specify a command to execute,...

A mutex puzzle; single instance of application

by: Michael A. Covington | last post by:

See: http://www.ai.uga.edu/mc/SingleInstance.html While attempting to use a mutex to allow only one instance of my app to run at a time (Recipe 4.12 in C# Programmer's Cookbook), I found that if the mutex is in a local variable in Main(), and my program launches any windows before Application.Run(), it will lose the mutex upon doing so. It shouldn't, as far as I can see. Moving the mutex variable outside Main() and making it static...

Detect whether I am being run from a Console application ?

by: Barry Mossman | last post by:

Hi, can I detect whether my class is running within the context of a Console application, vs say a WinForm's application ? also does anyone know whether the compiler or runtime is smart enough to avoid the overhead of writing to the console if it is not visible, eg I am running inside a WinForm application. thanks
