Solo

A simple library to run a .NET app as single-instance and notify the existing instance, if any.

When the first instance of the app starts, it attempts to create a named pipe.

  • If the named pipe already exists, it means another instance of the app already exists. Solo then connects to the existing named pipe, and sends the arguments to the existing instance, so that it can react appropriately.
  • If it doesn't, the app can start normally. Solo waits for connections from other instances to receive their arguments.

Getting started

Install the package, and add this at the beginning of your Main method (or directly in Program.cs, if using top-level statements):

using var singleInstanceApp = new SingleInstanceApp(
    "MyTestApp",
    args => Console.WriteLine("New instance started!"));
if (!singleInstanceApp.TryStart(args))
{
    return;
}

// The rest of your code goes here

The delegate passed to the SingleInstanceApp constructor is invoked when another instance of the app is started.
