Mutex Ownership in Release and Debug Builds.[Resolved]

[Lunatic3]

Here is the code:

Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Threading
 
Sub Main()
        Dim gd As GuidAttribute
        gd = GuidAttribute.GetCustomAttribute([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly, GetType(GuidAttribute))
        Dim guidstring As String = gd.Value.ToString
        Dim mymutex As Mutex
        Dim isrunning As Boolean
        mymutex = New Mutex(True, guidstring, isrunning)
        MessageBox.Show(isrunning) 'Its here now just to see the value and will be removed in original.
        If Not isrunning Then
             Exit Sub
        End If
'
'
End Sub

I use this code to create a named (tried to be a unique name, thus used assembly GUID info) mutex and gave the calling thread its ownership. Then trying another instance of the program cant take the ownership of this mutex and so 'isrunning' returns False. So If isrunning is false I can safely exit this application instance.

But the problem is that it works if i build the application under Debug mode and in Release mode any instance will take the ownership and isrunning will be alwyas True. What can I do about it?

Ok, I found the where the problem lies.

I shouldn't have declared the variable mymutex locally.
