      You can use following code to do so

      // Shut down the current app instance.
      Application.Exit();

      // Restart the app passing "/restart [processId]" as cmd line args
      Process.Start(Application.ExecutablePath, "/restart" + Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id);

            Try following code

            Close();
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.ExecutablePath);

            or you can also do following Add using System.Windows.Forms; to the top and call

            Application.Restart();

            You may need to add the reference: "System.Windows.Forms.dll" to your project.

                    Application.Restart();

                    stops the current process and starts a new identical one. :)

                        How was Luc supposed to know it was a Console application? You didn't volunteer this info up front.

                        I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.
