check out this code
string aModuleName = system.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess.MainModule.ModuleName;
string aProcName = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(aModuleName);
if (system.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(aProcName).Length>1)
{
Application.Exit();
}

You can use a Mutex. Here is a piece of code that shows how to do it:
In program.cs:
<pre>
private static System.Threading.Mutex _mutex;
private const string _mutexName = "Company_Product_MUTEX";
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
//Allow only one instance for this app to be active
try
{
//try to open existing mutex
_mutex = System.Threading.Mutex.OpenExisting(_mutexName);
if (_mutex != null)
return; //exit program;
}
catch
{ //There was no existing mutex so create mutex
try
{
_mutex = new System.Threading.Mutex(true, _mutexName);
}
catch { };
}
Application.ApplicationExit += new EventHandler(Application_ApplicationExit);
/// do rest of the code, like Application.Run() etc.
}
static void Application_ApplicationExit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Release Mutex
if (_mutex != null)
{
_mutex.ReleaseMutex();
}
}
</pre>
That should do the trick.

Create a Mutex in the very first instance and if it already exists, then just quit your application. Some pseudocode:
if(!Mutex.Exists("SomeName"))
{
Mutex.Create("SomeName");
}
else
{
}

You could download Reflector, search for the SerialPort class, and check (or copy / paste) the work Microsoft has done on the new class.

I look forward to reading your CP article. It will be interesting to say the least. J2EE is a web framework, and Java is a different language. How do you hope to achieve it ?

can anybody help me in developing an application like VNC(virtual network computing) in c#

The question is very vague, but if you want an answer to it, the answer is no.
Anybody can't help you with that, as everybody doesn't have the knowledge required to contribute anything to the project. I am sure that somebody can help you, though.
If you want a more specific answer than that, you have to write a more specific question.

Not a small task.
This article is C++, but it is a place to get started:

Simplest would be to use .NET 2 if you can.
There are some free coms drivers for .NET littered across the internet, one was provided by Sax a while ago, one was written by MS and included in the VB.NET Resource Kit and I'm sure there are one or two here.
Just do a Google.

Have you tried searching for RS232 on CodeProject, there's a C++ article on how to use Win32 to access the serial port, it isn't too difficult to translate.
Also this[^] article may help you.
As I mentioned there was stuff given away by MS, Sax and a few others, just do a Google search.
Alternatively you can use Reflector to examine the code behind the System.IO.Ports namespace for information on how to write your own RS232 Library.
