Mutex 不会阻止程序的两个实例同时运行答案

【问题标题】：Mutex does not stop two instances of program from running at onceMutex 不会阻止程序的两个实例同时运行

【问题描述】：

我正在尝试使用互斥锁一次只允许我的程序的一个实例运行。我重用了我正在编写的另一个程序中的 Mutex 代码，却发现它并没有阻止我的程序的两个实例同时运行。但是，我的 Mutex 代码在我的其他程序中工作。下面是Program.cs的完整代码（打开文件的代码无关）。您能否解释一下我应该如何正确使用 Mutex 来防止我的程序的多个实例同时运行？谢谢！

namespace NTCSAttendanceKiosk

    static class Program

            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

            // Make a mutex and detect if another instance of the program is running
            Mutex mutex = new Mutex(true, "AtteNTCSKioskMutex", out bool mutexResult);

            if (!mutexResult)
            {
                // Exit if it's already running
                return;
            }

            // Prevent the mutex from being released by the GC
            GC.KeepAlive(mutex);

            {
                MessageBox.Show("The file connection_string.txt does not exist. Please place the connection string in that file and place it in <your user folder>\\kiosk_config\\. The kiosk program will now exit.", "Connection String File Not Found", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);

                return;
            }

            // Read the kiosk location name from the file
            try
            {
                SqlConnectionInfo.KioskLocation = File.ReadAllText(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile) + "\\kiosk_config\\location.txt");

                return;
            }

            Application.Run(new KioskForm());
        }
    }

【解决方案1】：

您可以通过同时运行多个实例来测试以下代码。

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    using (var mutex = new Mutex(true, "UniqueSystemWideMutexName"))
    {
        //Timeout is set to zero so we don't block
        if (!mutex.WaitOne(0))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Program already running");
            Console.ReadKey();
            return;
        }
        Console.WriteLine("This is the only program running");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

如果您出于某种原因无法使用Dispose（using 块为我们所做的事情），请务必致电ReleaseMutex。

您也可以使用OpenExisting 来检查是否已创建互斥锁，但对于这个简单的用例来说不是必需的。
