Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Ensure only one instance running


I have this code to make sure my app can't run twice. But I seem to
remember there was a newer/better way in the latest .Net FW.

Is there?

====================================================

public static void Main()

bool firstInstance = false;

string safeName = Application.UserAppDataPath.Replace(@"\", "_");

Mutex mutex = new Mutex(true, safeName, out firstInstance);

if (!firstInstance) return;
