Take a look at Single Instance Application in C#[^].
There are several other articles about this on the web, I found the one above and loads more by googling single instance c#.
Give it a go yourself if the one given is not good for you.

To ensure a single instance of an application, you can try something like the following:
bool createdNew = true;
using (Mutex mutex = new Mutex(true, "MyApplicationName", out createdNew))
{
if (createdNew)
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new MainForm());
}
}
Place the following code in the main entry point for your application. With VS 2005, you would place this in the Program.cs.

Easy peasy:
If your form load event:
Process process = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(process.ProcessName);
if (processes.Length != 1)
{
Close();
}
If you had Googled it, you would have found a class to do it on this very forum...

This technique works, but copying the .EXE to another filename will defeat this solution. Granted, it's not going to be very common "work around" to get a second or third copy running, but, I think there are better methods to solving the problem than this that are more secure.

I have a requirement to connect a network drive, once it gets disconnected.
I am using WNetAddConnection2A() API of mpr.dll. It works fine for a console/windows application.
When I tried to use the same code in windows service, it’s unable to connect the drive.
WNetAddConnection2A() returns an int value. A non zero value is a failure and zero is a success.
In windows service it returns zero, still drive does not get mapped/connected.
int result = WNetAddConnection2A(n, password, username, dwFlags);
In ServiceProcessInstaller we have 4 types of Account. I tried with all of them and got the below return value from WNetAddConnection2A().
1- LocalService : 1312
2- NetworkService : 0 (Success, Still drive is not mapped).
3- LocalSystem : 1312
4- User : 0 (Success, Still drive is not mapped).
Error 1312: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.
Any help in this regard is appreciated. Also would like to know what kind of Account should I use.

What login account is your service running under?? If it's the LocalSystem account, mapping a drive won't work since LocalSystem doesn't have permissions to any network resources. Your code has to supply a username and password to map the drive as someone else to map a drive. Even then, there may be a problem with the resource already being used by that account, in which case, the map will fail.
Without knowing what account the service is running under and what the code looks like that maps the drive, along with any values it's passing to the function, it's pretty difficult to say what's going wrong.

Google is your friend.
There are loads and loads of hits for bluetooth c#.
I was not aware that there were bluetooth enabled doors, do they do windows too?

Bluetooth enabled doors!
Nokia phones are Symbian OS based phones and AFAIK there is no in-built support for that in .Net. You will need to look into the redFIVELabs[^] product which enables you to run .Net applications on Symbian.

I want the PDF file's data when it a PDF is opened in IE.
How can I do this using c#.
The COM reference AcroIEHelper.dll is added in my project.
ACROIEHELPERLib.AcroIEHlprObjClass acroIEHlpr = new ACROIEHELPERLib.AcroIEHlprObjClass();
acroIEHlpr is an Object element. From this how can I retrieve the information of PDF opened in IE.
How can I get the text of that PDF file?

Hi
i have a class called testparams:
[Serializable()]
public class TestParams {
public TestParams() {
}
private string m_filename;
[EditorAttribute(typeof(FileNameEditor), typeof(UITypeEditor))]
public string FileName {
get { return m_filename; }
set { m_filename = value; }
}
}
i use propertygrid and select the object :
TestParams TP = new TestParams();
propertygrid.SelectedObject = TP;
serialization :
private void Save(TestParams obj) {
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(TestParams));
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\testparams.xml", FileMode.OpenOrCreate)) {
xs.Serialize(fs, obj);
}
}
}
The problem:
if the user selects the file with the "..." button and i try to serialize TP to xml nothing get written in the file !
when user writes his text freely the xml file is written correctly .
any help will be appreciated

Your use of GetCurrentDirectory is ill-advised. Since the CurrentDirectory can change at any time, without you knowing it, I recommend against using it unless you have a deep understanding of how the current directory is maintained from a system and application points of view.
Member 4086596 wrote: if the user selects the file with the "..." button
Of what control?? Are you showing a SaveFile dialog or what?? Use whatever full path this dialog returns, not CurrentDirectory.

it seems to me that BitVector32 only supports signed integer
and does not support un-signed integer, what is the reason?
thanks

Why does it matter?
If it only supports signed ints (and I'm not sure that it is true, just can't be bothered to test it), it only supports signed ints. Use it if you can use signed ints, don't use it if you can't.
At the end of the day it is a struct, write your own to use signed ints, if you need one.

Becuase the signed integer is CLR compliant, and the unsigned integer is not.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
