Closing a Running Program

Is there a way in c# (using the .NET CP) to check to see if an instance of a
program is running before running it again.

ie, if a.exe is running the in background on a Pocket PC and i run a.exe is
there a way to check to see if it is already running and close it b4 running
it again.

thanx,
