You need to:

1) Stop application(Kill process) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.kill.aspx or Exit application http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.exit(v=vs.71).aspx

2) Run application again(Start process) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.start(v=vs.71).aspx

Also you may use Restart method http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.restart.aspx

Which way you will choose depends no the your particular situation.

This might do it.

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

If the application needs to restart itself this may help you :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.restart.aspx

You don't actually need to be running a winforms application for this to work - you just need to make sure the System.Windows.Forms DLL is present.

PS. i couldn't get this working for WPF - but I don't actually remember the exact reason right now
