application only start once at time

Hy there

How can I check at the startup of my application, if the application is
already running? I would allow that my application only can run once at
time.
In VB6, i can check this with App.PrevInstance, but I have found nothing for
the CF.

Thanks.

On Windows Mobile this is done for you already with netcf apps. For custom
WinCE images, you need to use a mutex... has been discussed many times
before.

Cheers
