I was working on some code that would provide a means to quickly tell if the application that you are starting is actually already running, actually it was for the CommonRSS application that I am working. I have done similar things in Visual Basic 6 but I do not remember ever trying this in C#. I am wondering if there is a much cleaner way of doing this ... any thoughts?
using System.Diagnostics;
private const string APPLICATION_NAME = "CommonRSS";
public static bool IsAppAlreadyRunning
{
get
{
bool isAlreadyRunning = false;
Process currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach (Process process in processes)
{
if (currentProcess.Id != process.Id)
{
if (APPLICATION_NAME == process.ProcessName)
{
isAlreadyRunning = true;
break;
}
}
}
return isAlreadyRunning;
}
}
