Checking if an application is already running
Many Windows Forms applications only allow a single instance to run at a time. The following snippet is a clean way to check if your process is already running:

static public bool AlreadyRunning()
{
    string processName = Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName;
    Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(processName);
    return (processes.Length > 1);
}
