Multi session in .net
I am developing a windows application in VS 2008.
In my MDIForm I have two tabs as multi-session and switch.
After logging-in,user will be able to see the MDIForm,if he clicks the Multi-session tab and then click 'Switch',it needs to open a new instance of the application.
I mean two forms running at same time.And it shud be two instances only.Means maximum two forms can be viewed at a time.
How can I do this?

you can use the mdiform.MDIChildren collection to check if the form already exists.

I want two instances of the Application.
It means two MDIForms will be running.

I am getting error
proclist ia a variable but it is used as a method
I have converted it to c#
Process[] procList = Process.GetProcesses();
int i = 0;
int AppCount = 0;
for (i = 0; i <= 20 - 1; i += i + 1)
{
if (procList(i).ProcessName == "applicationname")
{
AppCount += 1;
}
}
if (AppCount < 2)
{
}
else
{
//Start New Instance
}
//Already two instances running

ohh ok it's my mistake
it should be square brackets.
procList[i].ProcessName
it should be square brackets.
procList[i].ProcessName

Need your assistance
I am writing above code in Switch click event.
Following are my questions:
1>Why the loop we iterate 19 times.
2>What code should go under MultiSession click
3>What is 'applicationname",is it the solution's name?

Hi,
1) Its an oversight on my part. It should run to processlist.count - 1. Also change your loop from i += i + 1 to i++
2) All this code should go under multisession click.
3) You need to experiment with this one. I think it would be the exe name but not sure. Use a messagebox to get the name.

Can you pls tell me how can I switch between the forms?
Glad to be helpful. To switch between the forms, you could use the Form.Activate method.
