Sounds like a poor design. Either make a single instance app or sleep until the previous instance exits.

do something thing like with Monitor.Enter,

C#

Monitor.Enter((object)dgDevices);
           try
           {
               Dg_Devices.Rows[RowIndex].Cells[ColumnName].Value = (object)DBNull.Value;
               Dg_Devices.Rows[RowIndex].Cells[ColumnName].Value = (object)Cellvalue;
               Dg_Devices.Refresh();
           }
           finally
           {
               Monitor.Exit((object)dgDevices);
           }

otherwise

If I understood correctly, you want to limit the execution of the application to one single instance.
1) If you want to prevent running a second one you can use this:

C#

static void Main()
  {
     string mutex_id = "__SincleInstanceApp";
     using (NamedMutex mutex = new NamedMutex(false, mutex_id))
     {
        if (!mutex.WaitOne(0, false))
        {           
           // Allready running
           return;
        }
        // Do stuff
     }
  }

See also: Single Instance Application in C#[^]
2) If you want to end the already running instance (might be the wrong approach), you have to search for the other instance, and kill[^] it like this:

C#

Process current = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
    Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName (current.ProcessName);

    foreach (Process process in processes)
    {
        if (process.Id != current.Id)
        {
            process.Kill();
        }
    }

Please note, that simply killing an other process hold a lot of possible issues, it should be used only if it is not responding. Better trying to Close it with process.CloseMainWindow(), wait a while and only than killing it. But you also could communicate with your other application instance using an other mutex for example.
