Run Only One Copy Of Application

This is a class to make an application where only one instance of app can be run at a time in C#. The method must be called in Program.cs by replacing:

Application.Run(new Form1());

with

Chico.SingleApp.Initialize(true, new Form1());

a shorter version(where this initial code originated from) was posted by: Ron Whittle and can be found at http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/csharp/code/352511[^]

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Chico
{
    public class SingleApp
    {
        private static Boolean IsSingleAppMode;
        private static Mutex singleApp;
        private const Int32 waitTime = 3000;
        public static Boolean Initialize(Boolean value, Form form)
        {
            try
            {
                if (value)
                {
                    using (singleApp = InitializeSingleAppMode(IsSingleAppMode))
                    {
                        if (StartAsSingleAppMode(IsSingleAppMode))
                        {
                            StartApplication(form);
                        }
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    StartApplication(form);
                }
            }
            catch { }
            return value;
        }
        private static Boolean StartAsSingleAppMode(Boolean result)
        {
            return singleApp.WaitOne(waitTime, result);
        }
        private static void StartApplication(Form mainForm)
        {
            Application.Run(mainForm);
        }
        private static Mutex InitializeSingleAppMode(Boolean result)
        {
            return new Mutex(result, "anydomain.com myprogramname", out IsSingleAppMode);
        }
    }
}
