managing different instance of application
-
I have editor sort of application developed in c# using .Net 3.0 framework. My editor works in two different modes i.e. in Enginnering mode & Standalone mode. My requirements are I should be able to run multiple instances of my application on same system in different modes. When I open the file in the editor then prior opening the file, it should check whether any instance of my application is running in particular mode or not. If the instance is running then file should use the running instance to open the file. Considering above requirements, can some one give me ideas on following : 1) Out of all the running instances how I can select particular instance to operate upon? 2) How I can store my attributes i.e. mode of editor etc. in the running instance? I hope, I'm clear with my question. If you want me to clarify more pls revert with your questions. I hope this forum will get me some directions. Thanks Krunal C
