I am developing windows application in VS 2005 and I have following issues with MDI form,1) I have following code for opening child form inside MDI form.

Can I have some forms maximized and some shown as smll forms (without maximizing it)?3) I have a list in child form (at the bottom) for employees. User can select employee in the list and he can view details of that employee above the list in the child form. So when user selects employee its employee number is shown in forms text, I mean title bar of form (frmEmployee.text) like "Employee: John Smith (0001234)". By default it selects first employee in the list and its name is shown in the title bar of form.

Command Management: Use Design Patterns to Simplify the Relationship Between Menus and Form Elements

In Windows Forms applications, similar commands, such as those in a menu and their counterparts on a toolbar, are not automatically related. They don't fire the same event or run the same handler routine. Yet code that allows the same or similar user commands to fire the same code simplifies development.This article describes the principles of command management and why it's important to have functional commands that are not exclusive to any one UI element. In order to provide an MFC-like command management infrastructure, a design pattern is developed and applied as a series of C# classes.Michael Foster and Gilberto ArayaMSDN Magazine October 2002

Commerce with ASP.NET: Leverage the Authentication and Form Validation Features of ASP.NET to Bolste

If you're planning to build an e-commerce site, you'll be pleased to see that ASP.NET makes it easier than ever. Existing controls can be used and extended to add a great deal more functionality than you might expect. In this article, forms-based authentication is used to verify the identity of users and make certain areas of the site, such as the check-out page, inaccessible to unauthorized users. The power and flexibility of validation controls are demonstrated using the CustomValidator control to connect to a Web Service that verifies addresses. A shopping cart is then implemented in ASP.NET using the DataGrid, and finally, credit card authorization and billing are performed.Jason Lefebvre and Robert LairMSDN Magazine August 2002
