    You want to use a Mutex, like so:

    bool bIsSingleInstance;
    using (new Mutex(true, Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name, out bIsSingleInstance)) {
        if (bIsSingleInstance) {
            // START APP HERE.
        }
    }
    

    Note that you must NOT use ‘using’ if your winforms isn’t blocking in the comment block.
