我正在开发一个使用Mutex的应用程序，以确保它是系统上运行的应用程序的唯一实例。
当另一个应用程序实例尝试启动时，我想要一个方法在原始实例中运行。
我可以从应用程序的另一个实例调用我的应用程序中的特定方法吗？
我发现了一些使用RegisterWindowMessage / PostMessage Win32 API的示例，它们将消息发送到HWND_BROADCAST，但我无法让它们工作，我在其他地方读过使用HWND_BROADCAST可能很危险。
有没有更好的方法来执行此操作，而不涉及需要在特权模式下运行的应用程序？

这是我写的小帮手。
使用它：
var pipeListener = new NamedPipeListener<String>(); // instantiate an instance
pipeListener.MessageReceived += (sender, e) => MessageBox.Show(e.Message); // when a message is received, show a messagebox with the message
pipeListener.Error += (sender, e) => MessageBox.Show("Error ({0}): {1}", e.ErrorType, e.Exception.Message); // oh noes!
pipeListener.Start(); // when you're ready, start listening
从另一个过程：
NamedPipeListener<String>.SendMessage("Howdy howdy howdy");
请注意，它使用PipeListener的全名作为管道的默认名称。如果您需要更加谨慎，请使用带有管道名称的构造函数重载。
这是班级：

我之前已经对此进行了研究 - 您可以使用内存映射文件，在本文http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/singleinstanceapplication.aspx中进行了演示，或者您可以执行我所做的（简单方法）并利用vb.net功能（具体来说，允许您创建单实例应用程序并调用当前正在运行的实例中传递命令行参数的方法[因此您可以使用它来调用应用程序中的方法]）。我知道在C＃中使用VB类听起来有点差，但这是最抽象和简单的方法。链接到相关文章 - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/CSSIApp.aspx，http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163741.aspx的最后一部分
