>First, here are some good web sites with information.

>http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms

>This is an EXCELLENT web site for Winforms. There is a ton of sample code on this site. This site is worth more than 10 winform books combined.

>http://www.codeproject.com (another great one)

>Second, of all the .NET books, here are (IMHO) the must-haves...
>
>1) C# Essentials by O'Reilly Press...a cheap ($25) but awesome reference
>2) .NET for Visual FoxPro Developers by Kevin McNeish and Cathi Gero
>3) Essential ADO.NET by Bob Beauchemin
>4) Crystal Reports .NET Programming, by Brian Bischof
>
>Also, Jessie Liberty has written some very good .NET books for O'Reilly Press
>
>Third, the .NET forum here on the UT probably has the equivalent of dozens of books on it. Just do a search on MDI Parent, or interfaces, subclassing, etc...and you'll see a large number of questions and posted solutions.
>
>As for your last question...what you described is essentially what I have...an MDIPARENT form, where every form (customer form, order form, reports form, etc) is a child of the MDI parent.

>Good luck!
