WPF Close application and reopen current window

Question

I need to restart application after I click in button. Problem is that I have some data saved in Application.Current.Properties. So what I need to do is:

Application.Current.Shutdown();

then start window as Mywindow mw = new Mywindow(parameters);

At this momment aftrer I raise Shutdown(), it just closing app and cant start window.

Is there any way to do it?

Ok. So I've tried to do it from thread you post. But still having problem. Check please this code: http://pastebin.com/BTtZ6Nnz — user13657, Sep 16 '13 at 14:26
I Actually don't think you need to do that. `Application.Shutdown()` closes it for you. — Omri Btian, Sep 16 '13 at 18:13

No, you can't instruct a process to restart itself.

You'll need to execute a second process that stops the first, then starts it again.

Something along the lines of:

// stop
Process[] procs = Process.GetProcessesByName("process.exe");
foreach (Process p in procs) { p.Kill(); }

// start
Process.Start(@"c:\pathToProcess\process.exe -openConfig");

Thanks for fast answer. Any sample code? By the way, I have login window and another window with configuration (in configuration window I need to restart app) so is it possible to stop first process, then run another with configuration window open? – user13657 Sep 16 '13 at 13:33
well, that I do like System.Windows.Forms.Application.Restart(); But as I said i need to open configurationWindow ;) – user13657 Sep 16 '13 at 13:42

Yes you can.

1-first we need to open a new instance of the program before Exit the current one

2-exit the current program

so your code will be like this:

  System.Windows.Forms.Application.Restart();

     Application.Current.Shutdown();
