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).

If you're trying to check for your own process, I'd suggest using a
mutex. See
