Question

This has been a problem that I haven’t been able to figure out for sometime. Preventing the second instance is trivial and has many methods, however, bringing back the already running process isn’t. I would like to:

• Behind other windows: Bring the application to the front.

The language I am using this in is VB.NET and C#.
